Title
Story Bytes - World's Shortest Stories - Fiction with Lengths a Power of 2.
Description
Simply put, Story Bytes are very short stories---very short stories! This "genre" is sometimes called "fast fiction," and include other subsets, such as the 100 word "Drabble."
Story Bytes, however, were inspired by---and created for---the Internet itself. Nowhere is time of the essence more than online; beside downloads, Netizens tend to want their information at the superhighway speeds that are so elusive. Story Bytes give opportunity for a brief, quick interlude, allowing readers to choose from a variety of story lengths. If, after perusing a very short 64 or 128 word story, someone discovers they really enjoy the site, they can spend a bit more time exploring lengths of 1024 or 2048 words.
Yes, the lengths vary, but they all fall on a power of 2 (start with 2 and keep doubling the result). That means stories can be 2 words, 4 words, 8 words, etc. Of course, a power of 2 does not guarantee a short story. And while just about anyone can sneak in a 2 word story between corporate strategies or Dilbert comics, the same may not be true with a 20,000 word story. Fear not. No single Story Byte has ever exceeded 2048 words, and most of them are far shorter than that (the 256 word story being the most common---less than half a printed page in a paperback book).
