The vignette is a word-picture. It may be likened to the art expressed in a cameo or a miniature painting. It can be insightful, poignant, exciting, amusing or shocking. It may encapsulate a moment of discovery, or be a precise snapshot conveying something memorable to the reader about a character or an event. The territory is somewhere between a poem and a short story.
