What advice should you give someone who wants to write a flash fiction story? What should the writer keep in mind?

Tbh I am writer myself, I would just write what I see or hear. Anything that comes to mind or that is relating to the title.

Start in the middle. You don't have time in this very short form to set scenes and build character.
Don't use too many characters. ...
Make sure the ending isn't at the end. ...
Sweat your title. ...
Make your last line ring like a bell. ...
Write long, then go short.
