      Random microfiction constraints

      Generate one concise creative rule at a time from twenty distinct approaches to very short fiction. Use the result as pressure that sharpens character, implication, rhythm, and consequence.

      Copy a useful constraint or reroll, then adapt its details to your own story and combine it with a second compatible rule only when the draft remains clear.
