These 50 word stories are getting a little out of hand. It's like a mini addiction. And I don't even fancy myself a writer! Still, they're awfully fun, and a great challenge. So, here's some more for you.
"First Kiss"
The first cars were beginning to arrive. His body ached as his lips drew from hers. As his eyes opened, he beheld his angel in her scarlet prom gown. Beautiful as it was, It was white only moments before. It was their first kiss, but only he would remember it.
"Distance"
He could hear the children playing in the backyard. His wife smiled sweetly in the kitchen. He could feel her love. As the crimson stain spread over his chest, he wondered what theyd tell her. Probably just another "training accident." Funny thing was, they weren't even supposed to be here.
"Secret Code"
Jack's eyes were bloodshot. He could hardly keep them open, but he knew he had to finish. He'd been trying to see, trying to find the problem for hours. Suddenly it dawned on him. How could something so small cause so many problems? Finally. It was ready for beta.
"Aftershock"
The chandelier crystals were still tinkling as it swung. On the street below, car alarms wailed. In the distance, he could hear the first sirens. He sat up, sweating, and looked around. Broken glass littered the floor. The woman beside him smiled. She said she'd rock his world, but damn.
"Cancer"
"It's cancer," she stated sterilely. My mind went blank. You always think you've got things figured out. You think you're going to know what to do, what to say. Fear gripped my heart. I had to say something. I faltered another moment, then, looking at her, said "Scorpio."
