What the hell is it?

So, we all heard about short stories. From Chekhov to Maupassant, each had their own styles. Tagore once wrote a beautiful poem describing how an ideal short story should be. It should not only be small in size but should also talk about simple and ordinary things of life and it should end in a way that the reader would wonder - what happened after that!
Well, we are not in Tagore's days. We are in a faster world. From food to a computer program - everything needs to be fast. So why not super fast stories...why not micro stories?
What would it be like? I really do not know yet. I'll experiment and time would give birth to the definition.
