There is nothing like live theatre. The actors on the stage and the audience in the seats form a community. This community is the core of all drama.
It is the responsibility of the writer of flash fiction and the short story to create this community between the characters of the story and the reader.
One way to do this is to make the world of the sudden story and the short story as life like as possible. One way to accomplish this life likeness is to give the micro-story a soundtrack. How to Add a Soundtrack to Your Writing explains how to create this community.
