55 Fiction

So I've been exploring some alternative literary styles, and I came across something called "55 Fiction". It essentially means writing a story in exactly 55 words (some say less is acceptable) - title doesn't count towards word count (which can be very useful). It's an interesting technique, particularly because it demands all of the same elements that a traditional story demands: plot, characters, conflict, and resolution. Trying to pack all of that in 55 words is challenging, but I'm enjoying it. So far I've got three, but I think I'll keep one of them private (it's kind of disturbing, and I'm thinking about deleting it actually). Anyways, here are my two 55 Fictions that I wish to show off.
