It’s taken from moments that are more likely to be relative to the reader. In a longer story, you’re always reading about somebody else and often can’t even relate to the events or character or conflict. With flash, details are minimal so that even if the event is foreign to us, the feeling is there.

What a wealth of material for short fiction/non-fiction narrative. Great job once again!
