Fifty Five fiction is where you have to write a story in no more than 55 words.
I love writing Fifty Five fiction because it really tests your ability to express yourself in limited words.

Here is something I wrote Today.
Ripoff !
Maybe we should let it be.
No! This needs to be done.
Some things are best left uncovered.
But this sure needs to see the light of the day.
Well I can’t do it. Will you do it for me ?
A sigh of exasperation.Oh all right!
Ow !!
And the Band-Aid was ripped off unceremoniously.

ReplyDeleteyeah I am one aren't I !
DeleteI read it on my phone first thing early morning and thought, wow! Good one. :) I think too by restricting to 55 words we test our ability to say it in the fewest words possible.
ReplyDeleteYou said it ! I love 55ers !
DeleteOh wow ~ I thought it was some thng else
ReplyDeleteI was always scared of bandaids :(

DeleteWriting fiction in just 55 words is a real challenge, and you pulled it off so well. Even though there were no characters or plot, I felt as if I was the third person in that scene.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I do enjoy 55 fiction.
Deletehahahaha!! Lovely little story!! Last line, quite a turner!! Very tough to restrict oneself to only 55 words......I would never be able to do it!
ReplyDeleteTry a 55-er. They are fun !
DeleteIt was soothing the wounds. Nice :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLoved it :) I have never tried 55 fiction but I think I should now.

DeleteHahaha!! Ruchira, good one! And towards the end, my mind was prepping for god knows what sort of revelation! Brilliant.
