Sara Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 [color=#4b4b79][b]The Challenge[/b]: Write a story in 55 words or less. Well, "or fewer," to be grammatically correct, but you knew what I meant. And ideally, it would be 55 words [i]exactly[/i], and we wouldn't have to worry about any of this indefinite plural stuff. [b]The Rules[/b]: The name of the game is "55 [i]Fiction[/i]." That means 1.) You're writing a [i]story[/i]. It should include:[list=1] [*]Setting [*]Characters [*]Conflict [*]Resolution [/list] 2.) You are [i]not[/i] writing poetry, idle thoughts, or anything else that does not fit the above requirements. Your story should be 55 words long. Hyphenated words do not count as one word ("red-orange" would be two words, not one.) Contractions do count as one. ("it is" would be two words; "it's" would be one.) The title of your story does not count towards your word limit; however, it should be no more than seven words. You can write horror, drama, mystery, spoof, romance, adventure, science fiction, fantasy, kids' stuff, whatever you'd like. If you're got questions, ask. [b]Note:[/b] I've rated this thread [PG]. If you'd like to post something that you believe would fall under an [M] category, that's fine. [b]However[/b], please [b]put the appropriate M-rating [M-V/S/L] in the header of your post and "spoiler" out the body of your story as a courtesy to others.[/b] --------- [FONT= Georgia][color=#333366][size=3][b]What if Australia Discovered the World?[/b] She asked. "They didn't," I said. "I know...but what if they did?" She fingered the globe on my desk. "Would all our maps be upside down?" "It's getting late," I told her. "Go to bed, sweetie." She smiled, kissed me, and padded off. Later, alone in my office, I reached slowly for the globe.[/size][/color][/FONT] hypothetically, Sara [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future girl Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 [center][b]11 o'clock[/b][/center] She drove down the road, her hair whipping all about her. Her left hand gently glided over the waves of cold wind, memorizing the air. Her shirt was untucked and half unbuttoned, her bare feet pressing on the pedals. It was late and she felt free. How amazing it was to be out of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 [size=1][b]Cliffside Lane[/b] The tight, low-slung Boxter whipped around the bends in the road. He felt the pull of the G-forces, which threatened to send the car flying into the fence... A quick glance in the rearview mirror showed the Diablo coming up behind him. He turned his gaze back forward. Saw the corner. Half a second too late.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future girl Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 [center][b][COLOR=Pink]+[/COLOR][/b][/center] Perhaps it was a bit naive, but she never thought it?d happen to her. She?d been so careful since the night she started. She looked at her tiny figure in the mirror and then picked up the tiny white plastic from her night stand once more. She stared at that pink positive sign and cried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSeraphim Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Dumb Purchases In retrospect, he was unsure why he bought the CD. Maybe it had been the coverart, maybe he was caught up in the massive hype. Maybe he had been temporarily insane. But that didn't matter, here it was now, lieing on his table, still in shrinkwrap. He groaned. How could he have bought Avril Lavigne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaOfChaos Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 [color=deeppink][size=1][b][center]Vanity Kills[/center][/b] He stared at the clock, waiting. "Come...on...." she muttered, trying to fit her size ten waist into size four jeans. She pulled tighter, until the button popped off, bounced off the mirror, hit her forehead and made her stumble backwards. Her spinal cord smashed into the metal hook on the door, killing her instantly. - - - - Brilliant idea, Sara. 55 is also my favorite number. ;) -Karma[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 [B]No Escape[/B] [I]Huff, huff, huff...[/I] She couldn't run any longer. She turned to face her attacker. A blade rose above her head. She sat up in bed. She sighed. "Just a dream." She felt a breeze and turned to see her window open. "Strange, it wasn't open before..." She shut the window and turned around. She screamed.

John Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 [font=Trebuchet MS][size=3][color=black][b]Yo-ho.[/b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]Pirate Bruce wasn?t happy. He hadn?t filled his quota of plank walkers, and Captain O?Scruffy was about to check the numbers. So when the captain went into his cabin below deck, Pirate Bruce did what any other pirate would do.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]That night, Captain O?Scruffy noticed a strangely smaller crew aboard than when they set off.[/size][/font][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future girl Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 [center][b]Hot Hot Heat[/b][/center] The sun was so hot it made her skin itch. All around her there was absolutely nothing and the canteen loosely hanging at her side had been empty for a while now. She tilted her head up, the sky was cloudless and she thought she saw a vulture slowly circling around her. She was lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Rose Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Pretty cool idea, I must say. Here goes nothing...[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][B]He loves me not?[/B] She clutched the crimson rose tightly in one hand. The note read, [I]I?m sorry[/I]. ?He loves me, he loves me not?? Petals dropped to the kitchen floor. ?You fool. You let him in again.? Tighter, now. Thorns pierced flesh. A bare stem, a bloody palm; beauty marred by grief again. [I]Sorry[/I] wasn't good enough anymore.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSeraphim Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Fuck Me Fabio 'Mmm... what is this?' she asked. 'It's delicious!' He grinned. 'Guess.' The woman pursed her nose and analyzed the tastes in her mouth. 'It's butter! You fed me butter! You're trying to make me fat! AREN'T YOU?' He grinned again and showed her the tub. 'Oh my,' she gasped. 'I can't believe it's not butter.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
