55 Word Storys

[scorch]

Hey, i've got this book called 'THe World's Shortest Stories'. Basically its full of stories 55words and less.


Heres my favourite:


Uncontrolled terrorists burning the world's oil fields are producing 'nuclear winter' effects in NOrthern Hemisphere.
Industry, agriculture, transport, failing. Prediction: 50 years until horse stock able to serve human needs. Gold, $2 an ounce. Hay passes $100 a bale.
US denies plans to invade hay-producing nations.
'Just routine miltary maneuvers' says the White House.


Now, lets try our luck at producing our own, as the book says, if we try make one a day, then you will have produce 365 a year, of them, 3 or 4 would be good ones, it's not possible to make 365 bad stories.

Borg infested Romulan Warbird. Enterprise moves in for attack. Targets Warp Core. Warbird pulled into the star......explodes. Energy wave expands around star, destroys Enterprise Warp Drive. Ship..........Stranded.

Wow....54 words...unless I counted wrong.

They all died. God damn cheap monkeys. I like monkeys.

In the beginning, there was the word, and the word was muffled by the exploding sounds of creation. Meanwhile, some several billion years later, the word was still wandering about the cosmos, bouncing off stars, and pestering asteroids. Suddenly, it was shot by a passing lexiconographer, and pinned into his new dictionary. So very sad.

I dare somebody to compete with my darkness:

"A volatile mixture of chemicals called "Drano" is a common utility in American households where shower drains plug up with all manner of organic material. When the organic matters and chemicals meet they turn into a gasy, foamy liquid that can be easily washed down the sewers; yet you can only imagine the volcanic reaction "Drano" had with the organic insides of little Sarah when she drank a whole bottle shortly after coming to the conclusion that the world didn't need her anymore."
