55 Word Fiction

I have been trying to write a 55 word story. I am just not having any luck. Maybe the story that has been circling in my head is just a no go. The story actually has 55 words, but it doesn't have the impact one wants from these little stories.

What is 55 word fiction?

55 word fiction is a complete story that packs a punch. It is exactly 55 words, no more and no less.

There are some examples of this at the following sites.

• 55 Fiction
• Word Ferret - Fiction and Literary Commentary
• 55-Fiction
• 55 Word Fiction
• If you dare write short-shorts (This one is less than 55 words)
