AYRT Well ok, it can be done with skill, if that's what you set out to do. (I wasn't even thinking of professional writing!) "All I've got is this one small image that can't be stretched any further" feels like not the same thing.

AYRT Raymond Carver (one of my favs, I love his writing) does a lot with very compressed ideas and scenes and impressions. Take "Cathedral", his most anthologized work - if you look at the literal plot, it's just about a guy in an unhappy marriage who lets a homeless blind guy stay for the evening. The art is in the rest of it - all the thoughts and ideas and impressions this impulsive decision spark off, how the central character slowly changes from regretting his decision to having an almost religious experience, the power of art and architecture and, uh, weed apparently. It's masterfully done, and it's not too far off from something along the lines of "OTP fall asleep together after a long day" and other similarly sparse oneshots. It's about the feelings and emotions and impressions, and it can be done super well.
