55 Fiction is a form of micro-fiction that refers to the works of fiction limited to a maximum of fifty-five words.
Forbidden
Even after 4 years, the sparks of attraction flew between them, across the room.
“I know you are married now,” she said.
” You have to go back,” she added hesitantly.
“I have to go back”, he said after a while.
“I’m sorry… It’s time to move.”
And off he went to pack his bags.

Reading 55 fiction after ages I think. Good one 🙂
Even I am writing one after a long time! Thanks A 🙂
Very cool. I would be intimidated by such a word limit, but you’ve done good.
55 Fiction is fun and challenging! Try it out! Glad you liked it! 🙂
Fantastic fifty five fiction…. Great idea for this and cool story – sad, but true! 🙂
Thanks Corinne! True, it is a common story now-a-days, sadly!
Interesting exercise. First time I hear about it. I might try that… someday!
Do challenge yourself with this one, Ambrozya! 🙂
Very interesting- loved this!
Thanks Megan 🙂
Oh, the longing left . . .

Thks Martha 🙂
Very interesting. Only 55 words but full of emotions!! This is the first time I have heard of this style of writing.
It is like Haiku which you wrote a few days ago… so you must try 55 Fiction too, Ma’am 🙂
packing a world full of emotions in just 55 words- how cool is tht ? good one shilpa
Thks Priya 🙂
Wow nice one. This is my first time to hear about 55 Fiction. I only know about the 100-word stories contest held by Reader’s Digest and I didn’t even attempt to write one. Haha. Kudos to you.
Oh you must try this out, Dee. It is fun to express yourself in limited words… I like it when I have to work on either adding a word or deleting 1-2 words to make it a perfect 55! 🙂 Thanks Dee 🙂
Nice one 🙂 loved it 🙂
Thanks Hari 🙂
You left me wanting more 🙂 I am so trying this form of writing.
Do try it!! Would love to see you story with 55 words 🙂
Oh 🙁 Feeling bad for them. Great post….loved your story. Have heard such stories so many times from friends, but each time I do FEEL for both parties. The ‘if only’ lingers…..
Good job!
I know, it’s a catch 22 situation, leading to hurting so many people but it can be avoided! 😀 Thanks 🙂
Arrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee, I Want to hear more. You must make this a full fledged post.
:))
so relevant to times your fiction 55. A-z challenge is fodder for your talent, shilpa. 7 down and we already had a variety.
Oh yes, such a common thing now-a-days, sadly! Thanks Asha, for all your support and encouragement! Means a lot 🙂
A whole story in 55 words – wow. Nicely done.
Thanks Suzy 🙂
I doubt if such sparks will go away in total.
They rarely go away! 🙂
This 55 fiction seems very challenging . I might never be able to do it ;(
kudos
Attempt to do it, Afshan… you’ll never know until you try! 🙂
wow! I could never do that kind of writing! Awesome!
You CAN, Roshni! 🙂
Excellent ! though a tad melancholic and sad ! 🙂
True! 😐
55 fiction sure is exciting. In awe of people who do it, 55 limit scares me :-/
Pls dont be… it’s not all that difficult 🙂
Good one! I haven’t done a 55 fiction since long. This one was an inspiration. 🙂
That’s cool, go for it, Akanksha! Would love to read your story in 55 words! Cheers 🙂
People who fall for ‘sparks’ either need to be very young or never grew up. Somehow, not growing up has got a cult status in our society!

Well said, DI.
I’ve never heard of 55 fiction, but It’s cool. Can’t be an easy thing to write though.
Hi Nana! It is not so tough either… try it!! 🙂
Forbidden fruit is all the sweeter…

Oh yes! That sure is!
Nice. I’ve written a few micro-fiction pieces before and they’re hard to do. You really did a great job here.
Wow! Would love to see your micro fiction, Clarissa 🙂 Thanks 🙂
How do you manage to tell a story in just 55 words? A challenge it is, and you’ve done a great job. I don’t think I could ever pull off something like this.
I am sure you can, Cynthia! Try it! 🙂
Commendable! I can’t do it either 🙂
Not fair…wish to know more. Well spun.
LOL 😀 But I write only 55 fictions! 😀
Read 55 fiction after long time..:)

Got a little sad reading this…the longing..sigh!
Good one Shilpa. I dont think I can ever attempt this. You did justice!
Yeah… some lives are like that! Thanks, glad you liked it, Naina 🙂
Super. You conveyed a whole literature in just 55 words.

Thanks Vidya 🙂
Much said in few words.
