Quickies: 55 Word Stories |
|
Writer's Conference "Messily devoured." "That's it? Messily devoured? That's your favorite phrase in the English Language?" "Well... maybe... what's wrong with that?" "What's wrong with it? I'll tell you what's wrong with it, it's gross. Its connotation is disgusting. You'd consider putting that in a book?" "Well, I already have." "Where?!" "Um,
I just did." Sweet
Surprise "You'd never do it Miles, you ain't got the guts!" "Don't push me, sweetheart, I've done it to tougher cases than you." Sarah deliberately placed her hands on Miles' chest, and shoved him backwards. Miles reacted instantly, his arm pistoning forwards. As the custard cream pie detonated, his lip curled upwards, revealing yellowed teeth. |

Notes
Found these on an old floppy disk with tons of other stories from the past. They are from 1991 or so, and are from a writing class I was in, that required us to do a couple of stories in 55 words or less. I have no idea why, that's just the sort of hoop they force you to leap through in writing classes. I vaguely remember the top one, and the phrase "messily devoured" that I was hung up on at one point. The other one I have no recollection of whatsoever, other than reading it here. I do recall that the teacher didn't much care for either of them, marking something like "I don't get it??" on the paper. I didn't much care for his taste in stories either though, as I recall. |
