Flash Narratives are a way to share the Great Plains diaries of my great-aunt Hattie, which she kept from 1920-1957. Most of the flash narratives here are no longer than 500 words. For more background information on the project upon which these narratives are based, see these posts and sites:
- What is the book that only you can write?
- News Flash!

- Hattie’s Blog: Ordinary Work
