IT'S MATTHEW FUCKING REILLY, BITCH.

I've written a 50 word short story before, and I think I recall trying to write a 6 word story before, but I think an unrhymed couplet I wrote in my creative writing class would work as a 20 word story.

'Footsteps crunched across the morning's garden path. His motorcycle sat on the bitumen, waxed and polished.'

16 words.

It's a good exercise to work on getting maximum impact out of your words. Especially for the opening and closing sentences of stories. My tutor used Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club as an example. I bought it today and I'm still coming back to that opening line and rereading it, it really gives a lot to think about.

"Tyler gets me a job as a waiter, after that Tyler's pushing a gun in my mouth and saying, the first step to eternal life is you have to die."

30 words.

The man sat alone. The waitress waited for his order. The man said nothing.

Her skin was so soft I just had to cut it off.
Her face feels good on my face.

Taking her things, she uttered, "Goodbye."

I spun around as i saw him engulfed by the darkness, as my soul lay dead still in the gutter.
