SA short story competition

Post by MajGenl.Meade »

There are three challenges to choose from. Write a short story in: 10 words or less / 102 characters or less / 75 words or less. I chose the 75 word option and this is it:
sad. a little
drop of perfume
behind the ear and
on the wrist.
I'm surprised at you. it's simply not
believable to me that you don't understand. but if you
don't see his clear and obvious intent maybe you're just not
bothering to read. given your inability or unwillingness
to perceive the obvious it's not surprising that you
would also be delusional. post nothing further
on it. drop it now. wise. delighted.
It was rejected for plagiarism :lol:

Guess I'm stupid, none of this makes sense to me.

Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

And your second effort proved just as efficient. Deadly.

That's not "The Lord of the Rings" in ten words!
