A 55 word story is such a daunting but at the same time alluring task. Having failed to convey a complete story in 1000 words, here I am trying to pen one which is 20 times smaller. Hopeless. That too exactly 55 words...

Initially I thought about writing a title too but then was unsure if I should include the title in the word count, for you see the title plays a vital role for any story. The title is the primary tool which grabs people's attention much like the essential beautiful model in any advertisement. They are there to merely attract people, much like the title of the story. But in the end, why bother myself with the controversy of adding one. So the stories are titleless. Modelless.

4 x 55 = 220.

Germany’s most sensational serial killer strikes again… “

“Guten Morgen, my name is Roger”, said the man dressed in an Armani suit, as he approached a gorgeous woman dressed in black. “Hi, my name is Lisa”, she replied, as she removed her shades.

“…The latest victim was identified as a Roger Berg.”

Dear God,

Why won’t Amanda love me? She loves that stupid surfer Ben. I hope he gets bit by a shark. Am I not good looking enough? Smart enough? Tall enough? Interesting enough?

Can you please send Ben to heaven quickly? In 13 years I have never asked you anything else… please!

Thanks,

Susan Miller

“President, apparently a bomb blast has killed 3 Brazilian soldiers.”, said Penthouseleesa Wheat.

“Oh my God, we must declare tomorrow a national holiday and mourn the death of these brave souls,” replied Doobya, the President of Universal Stigmata.

“Ok... will do Sir.”

“Yes. Yes. By the way, how many billions are there in one Brazilian?”

“You are my superman, kiddo.”

“Yes dad. I can fly and can stop bullets.”

Tom laughed and ruffled young Paul’s hair. “So ready to go to the barber?”

They went walking that day.

“Stick ‘em up! Give me all your money”, said the drunken mugger with a gun.

“I’ll stop him daddy!”

“What the…”

@Scout : Movie was dejentish. I liked the previous one better. Somehow as the books get bigger, the movies cannot cover the whole thing. Sad. Acting was crap btw. But as I said, decent.
