I don't know that it's necessarily conflict that's needed so much as the sense of something mattering. To the characters and the reader both. It doesn't have to be a progression or a conflict, it just has to give us a window onto why what we witness in this story is important, even if only to this one character for this one breezy second. A one hundred word story where a character holds something they love and finds it good, for no better reason than that it exists and it is theirs, can be as powerful as a story where a character struggles to overcome something.

nayrt

Very true -- however, I would argue it usually takes more talent to write that one-hundred-word story well, because the feelings are so much more difficult to articulate.

But then, it also depends on where the writer's talents lie.
