There are many terms and parameters for short-short fiction, including:
drabble (100 words)
flash fiction
microfic
palm-sized (Chinese)
postcard fiction
smoke long (Chinese)
sudden fiction

Most of those don't have specific sizes or parameters. Common thresholds include under 300, 500, or 1000 words. A page is typically about 250 words.

Some people in crowdfunding use "microfic" to describe a short bit of writing that may stand alone at least somewhat, but can be expanded if people donate. It's usually around 100-300 words.
