VSS365 | 20-WORD STORIES CHALLENGE
Six 20-Word Stories
Inspired by bizarre dreams
Nikolaos Skordilis started a 20-word story challenge by writing some amazing stories that you should definitely check out!
Sara Larca also took on the challenge and wrote her own 20–word stories, featuring a riddle!
I have used my dreams as a source of inspiration for another set of very short stories (you can read them here if you want). The difference for these 20-word stories is that I’ll be trying to convey the most bizarre dreams I had since I started writing on Medium!
- Sitting on the dirt road of the ransacked village, she plans their escape. Unbeknownst to her, her teammates already left.
- A man approaches an empty coffin. The floor disappears and he closes his eyes and laughs, falling to his death.
- The black satin bedsheets shimmer in the candlelight. A dark figure appears in the ceiling’s mirror, holding a purple rose.
- A thunderstorm tears down a city. The children cheer as their school is swept away, and celebrate with cotton candy.
- On a dark and misty morning, a small boat leaves the rocky harbor. A large green cat salutes the sun.
- While the truce is signed, small creatures carrying drums announce the birth of a new emperor. The Moon is dying.
