Flash Fiction Plot Blueprint

Flash fiction lives or dies on structure because there's no room to wander. Give it your premise and word count and you get a compressed three-act blueprint: hook and world, escalating complication and a real choice, then a landing that resonates, each with its word share and what to show versus imply. A skeleton you can write to.

Build a complete plot structure for a flash fiction story of exactly {WORD_COUNT} words. My premise is: {PREMISE}. Use this compressed three-act framework: Act 1 (opening hook + world establishment, ~15% of words), Act 2 (escalating complication + character decision, ~60% of words), Act 3 (consequence + resonant landing, ~25% of words). For each act, specify: the narrative beats required, what must be shown vs. implied, and what to ruthlessly cut. Remind me which details pull double duty as both character and plot information.
