One Sentence (fifty-one through fifty-five)

ParisianTwist's picture

For Imagine and Usagi, more one sentence stories

51: Everyone has stories to tell that they cannot find words for.

52: a tear fell silently down his cheek as he slipped the tweed jacket onto his slim frame.

53: Run.

54: I almost called him "Chris"

55: My brother has finally realized Daddy doesnt love us anymore.

Wow

Fifty-one: so true. Number fifty-three has been boiled down to one word--one which shows the urgency of the situation and the story. It leaves a lot to the reader. Fifty-four and fifty-five are definite stories on their own--nothing more needs to be said. Fifty-two seems like a sentence in a story; a little laded with descriptions but as a result quite good to read. It's not so much a story as the suggestion of a story.
