Hint fiction is an extremely short literary work, typically no more than twenty-five words, that hints at a longer, more complex story.

　　Hint fiction(即中文的“微小说”)指极其简短的文学作品，基本不超过25个字，但却隐含着一个更长更复杂的故事情节。

　　Those very, very, very, VERY short stories are all the reader is ever given. Just a hint. Not a scene, or a setting, or even a character sketch. They are given a hint, nothing more, and are asked — nay, forced — to fill in the blanks.

　　读者看到的只是一个特别特别短的故事。这只是一个提示。不是场景，不是故事背景，也不是人物描写。读者读到提示，然后需要自己去填充缺失的故事情节。

　　A hint fiction titled Progress:

　　After seventeen days she finally broke down and called him "Daddy."

　　以上为一篇名为《进展》的“微小说”： 17天以后，她终于招架不住，叫了他一声“爸爸”。
