microfiction 

A short story, usually no more than 300 words, becoming more and more popular on the Internet. One suspects that the technology of portable readers has helped this genre along. Also known as "flash fiction." Wikipedia offers Aesop's Fables as some of the earliest and best-known microfictions.
One ancient and respected microfiction is Aesop's "The Fox and the Grapes," whence we get the expression "sour grapes."

Microfiching

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
