55 Word Stories

All of us know that when you name a bulletin board as CREATIVE, crazy things are bound to happen. 3 days back in our HYD Creative folder, one guy proposed to write stories in 55 words. No more and no less. Then the poor BB saw a flood of mails from users sending 55 word stories, which the poor server was unable to handle.

Anyways given below are some of my favorite 55 word stories out of them.

The Wait

Totally bored, he glanced at his watch. He had been waiting for the train for nearly half an hour. He had decided he would not try the bus or any other transportation medium. Only the train should take him to his destination.

Then he heard the horn.

He prayed silently and sat on the tracks.

The Blow

The Man entered the ground with his usual elegance, he was quick on his feet for he realised he had a job to finish.

Within seconds he was the cynosure of 50,000 spectators at the Wolloongabba (Gabba in Brisbane) and they were all cheering his courage.

Then came the blow from Andrew Symonds which floored him - the streaker.

Speed Thrills!!

Jack was speeding beyond the speed limits .He was being followed by the police cars with their siren blazing, If caught ,He had to pay a huge amount as fine and some years at the prison.
He still hit the throttle and was about to finish first in the race ,when the power was gone.


Kaise Kahu!!

For some men it is so simple while some never have enough courage to say it. But I have suffered a lot. Earlier I didn't know how to tell her. Not anymore. She must know this. It's so important for both of us. Here she comes and off I go, " Mamma, you make horrible pancakes."

The Glimpse

I pushed my way through the crowd, to have a glimpse at the man. I was waiting for this chance for several years. Finally he arrived and apologized for being late by few minutes. I wanted to see him more clearly. Suddenly there was sound of shots and the man dropped down – uttering “Hey Ram”.
