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指極其簡短的文學(xué)作品，基本不超過25個字，但卻隱含著一個更長更復(fù)雜的故事情節(jié)。
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。
讀者看到的只是一個特別特別短的故事。這只是一個提示。不是場景，不是故事背景，也不是人物描寫。讀者讀到提示，然后需要自己去填充缺失的故事情節(jié)。
A hint fiction titled Progress:
After seventeen days she finally broke down and called him "Daddy."
