@Jayho... Did you try the reading comprehension section? Ed

Yes, but they were all factual reports (as far as I could see).  I �m after fictional narratives of 350 words (for adults so not too childish) with comprehension.  These are difficult to find.

Hi Jayho!

Here �s a link to some interesting short stories, by Narrelle M. Harris, that are close to the sort of length you �re after. They �re very much for late teens or older, but I �m not sure about the English level for your students. You �d be able to whip up your own comprehension questions, I �m sure.
If you like the stories, make sure you send their author a message & let them know I put you onto them!

Cheers,
AB

Edit: here are some other links to some �super short� stories:

I also love Kawabata�s �Palm of the Hand� stories if you can borrow or buy a copy! You may even be able to find a few pdfs online. Here�s one of his stories: The Pomegranate
