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.

Very interesting. Only 55 words but full of emotions!! This is the first time I have heard of this style of writing.
April 6, 2013 1:58 am|
It is like Haiku which you wrote a few days ago… so you must try 55 Fiction too, Ma’am 🙂
April 6, 2013 1:42 am|

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.
April 6, 2013 2:01 am|
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 🙂
April 6, 2013 4:07 am|
Nice one 🙂 loved it 🙂
April 6, 2013 5:30 am|

Do try it!! Would love to see you story with 55 words 🙂
April 6, 2013 4:14 am|
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!
April 6, 2013 5:34 am|
I know, it’s a catch 22 situation, leading to hurting so many people but it can be avoided! 😀 Thanks 🙂
April 6, 2013 4:20 am|
Arrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee, I Want to hear more. You must make this a full fledged post.
April 6, 2013 5:35 am|
:))
April 6, 2013 4:35 am|
so relevant to times your fiction 55. A-z challenge is fodder for your talent, shilpa. 7 down and we already had a variety.
April 6, 2013 5:36 am|
Oh yes, such a common thing now-a-days, sadly! Thanks Asha, for all your support and encouragement! Means a lot 🙂
April 6, 2013 5:46 am|
A whole story in 55 words – wow. Nicely done.
April 6, 2013 8:29 am|
Thanks Suzy 🙂
April 6, 2013 5:51 am|
I doubt if such sparks will go away in total.
April 6, 2013 8:30 am|
They rarely go away! 🙂
April 6, 2013 6:09 am|
This 55 fiction seems very challenging . I might never be able to do it ;(
kudos
April 6, 2013 8:30 am|
Attempt to do it, Afshan… you’ll never know until you try! 🙂
April 6, 2013 7:34 am|

April 6, 2013 8:31 am|
You CAN, Roshni! 🙂
April 6, 2013 7:44 am|
Excellent ! though a tad melancholic and sad ! 🙂
April 6, 2013 8:31 am|
True! 😐
April 6, 2013 8:11 am|
55 fiction sure is exciting. In awe of people who do it, 55 limit scares me :-/
April 6, 2013 8:32 am|
Pls dont be… it’s not all that difficult 🙂
April 6, 2013 8:36 am|
Good one! I haven’t done a 55 fiction since long. This one was an inspiration. 🙂
April 6, 2013 9:05 am|
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!

Nice. I’ve written a few micro-fiction pieces before and they’re hard to do. You really did a great job here.
April 6, 2013 3:47 pm|
Wow! Would love to see your micro fiction, Clarissa 🙂 Thanks 🙂
April 6, 2013 1:44 pm|
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.
April 6, 2013 3:48 pm|
I am sure you can, Cynthia! Try it! 🙂
April 6, 2013 7:48 pm|
Commendable! I can’t do it either 🙂
April 6, 2013 4:52 pm|
Not fair…wish to know more. Well spun.
April 6, 2013 5:15 pm|
LOL 😀 But I write only 55 fictions! 😀
