Decided to try my hand at the new fad that seems to be going around… the 55 word fiction post. Man, the effort it takes to cut the post down from 99 to 55! Especially the 60 to 55 cut is the worst because you just can’t seem to know which word to eliminate! But here it is finally! Hurrah! :-P
“It’s my wedding anniversary. I’m leaving early!” he declared. His colleagues stared & shook their heads.
After buying a flower bouquet en route, he reached promptly and walked in through the gates.
She was inside, resting. On the headstone was engraved: ‘Sanjana Mathew 1971-2007, RIP.’
He placed the bouquet on her grave and whispered: “Happy anniversary dear…”

revealing the suspence at the last bit forms the true beauty of 55 word stories..thats what i believe!

LOL i completely understand ur predicament! welcome to the club! i m just as bad. (if u dont believe it, see how long my very first post is.) so what i did was think of a theme first, express it into words the shortest length possible and then chop away to glory! good luck! i'm sure u'll come up with something urself soon :-)
So touching and so loving !!
