I remember the old thread of story continuation using limited syllabyls.
Fiction-55 is an interesting concept of writing short stories with only 55 words. Brevity is the soul of wit indeed.
Here's a professional example:
" Marie,
You meant everything to me. I don't blame you, though. I always figured some day you'd realise how worthless I am.
Sorry about the mess; I just couldn't stand to live any longer. But you'll always be with me.
Glenn
PS. The fish I served you tonight was poisoned. See you soon. "
My attempt:
" “Afraid?” I whispered. “No.” She said.
Hands and breath held tight, as we spiraled into space.
Yesterday was the last time we will set foot on ground.
Earth disappeared.
I never told her I love her. Now I have time.
She leaned on me, her conspiratory whisper tickling my ear.
“I am dying of Aids.” "
Looking forward to reading all your stories
