Could you write a full story in under 50 words?

By 'full' I mean, it is supposed to have a plot; basically.
Decided to post this, because my school took part in a 'Mini Sagas' competition where we had to write a story in up to 50 words, about anything we wanted.

I know not everyone likes writing stories, but it's interesting working to a word limit as small as 50. This thread is where we can write our own stories/'Mini Sagas' in UP TO 50 WORDS. No more than 50.

I would post mine but I had to send it off, so I don't have the draft any more :C

Anyway, try and write your own, and discuss others' & similar competitions you may have entered. ^^;;

Harry Potter was magic. He went to Hogwarts. He stopped the evil Voldemort getting the philosopher's stone. Then stopped destroyed 1/7 Horcrux in the Chamber of Secrets. Then he saved the Prisoner of Askaban. Then he stopped Voldemort more and killed him and lots of people died. Oh no! The end.

Re: Could you write a full story in under 50 words?

Probably not but I'll try.

Wait no I won't. All my stories of any length suck, so I don't stand a chance of making a decent one under 50 words :c

More flash fiction?

There once was a man who did not like cats! His friends thought that this was bad. They forced upon him a cat for him to own. He did not like his cat at first, but then he thought it was cute. Giving up, he decided he did like cats.

Fan fiction of your flash fiction:

Once there was a man.
He had a wife.
He didn't like her.
She ran away.
He died.

The man had a sudden raging urge. Soon! Very soon!, he thought, he must release. But oh, he was currently unable and the pain rang throughout him as loud bells ring through town. Then he heard the whistle blow and he left the train quickly.. Finally, he could go pee.

Re: Could you write a full story in under 50 words?

I guy named Bob drove to the store. He is a hillbilly. On the way his 1975 chevy pickup truck broke down. Lucky he knew how to fix it. He gets to the store. He buys some beef jerky. Then he drives home. At home he opens his jerky and bites into it. That's when He realised he doesn't have enough teeth for jerky.

A bit more than 50 words but I guess if you remove the part about the truck it becomes less. I'll write a sequal if anyone actually likes it.  tongue

Welcome back TDD!  big_smile

Maybe it means something in another language
Hmm, story ideas...

Don't know what they're up to.
The Batter(?) toast annoys me though.

Re: Could you write a full story in under 50 words?

It had 'Bal' in it somewhere. The random letters were just to show that the name was longer. On topic.

Tears streaming down my cheeks, I watched as the little colour in her cheeks drained away. She was gone - it was all my fault. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zacky swiftly exit the hospital, the revolver he had possessed me to use still tucked in his pocket.

This is roughly what my story was, only with fewer words. And marginally better~ ^^

EDIT: Oh, and I think 'Baljigtyv' means 'failtroll' in Bajan. Don't quote me on that, however.
