The document provides an overview of hint fiction, which are very short stories of 25 words or fewer that suggest a larger narrative. Some key aspects of hint fiction discussed include that they aim to suggest rather than start a story, should not be a first sentence, and are not random sentences from a longer story. Examples of effective hint fiction are provided, including Ernest Hemingway's famous 6-word story "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Readers are encouraged to make inferences and interpretations from hint fiction.
