Very Short Stories

My attempt for this challenge

Nikolaos Skordilis has crafted one more fun challenge! Following the prompts in his original post, I embarked on a journey to write some very short stories. One is a poem though but it still counts, right?

RN Manchester also took on the challenge and created really great poems! Go check them out!

Here are my 50-word poem & story:

Suspension is the highway to creation Tight ropes, a sore body With a mind so foggy Pain that craves the sweet release Of the Master’s touch underneath the sheets Bruises and sweat as a badge of honor Emerging from the depths calmer A primal release as the ropes now loosen (50 words)

“How often can I see you?”, he asked impatiently. “Just call me anytime”, she replied, trying to hide a grin. “Really?”, he said enthusiastically. She looked away and lit a cigarette. “Of course not, don’t be stupid”. He sulked and looked at the floor. She enjoyed tormenting him that way. (50 words)

Four 10-word stories:

1. Getting away was never an option, but neither was surviving.
2. The candle’s flame flickered as the Demon touched the practitioner.
3. The waves wash repeatedly over them. Their cries forever silenced.
4. What is the purpose of the mystery map? Who cares!

I definitely recommend that you give this fun challenge a chance!
