50-WORD STORIES
Not just another game
‘It is just a game to you?’ Jane asks disappointedly, hiding her fears, she turns away. Soreness on her nose overwhelms her as she walks away from the library, the place where they first meet each other. ‘Six months, and this is all I get?’ she questions in between sobs.
Free
‘‘What do you think you are?’ a hand decorated with jewels flashes cross her face, she falls to the cold floor bleeding away, hiding her tears.’ Aimi remembering the past, she lets out a smile, when tears roll, she places her hand on the scar. ‘I am freed,’ mumbles Aimi.
Butter with no bread
Bringing daily fresh loaves to the people is a joy to Ann. All until the day the letter came. ‘All because of him, my five years of effort, all robbed off!’ shouts Ann, seething away, thinking of her ex-husband going back on his words for the ownership of the confectionary.

Story 1 and 2 are very similar in nature and the rest are pretty generic. You need to think about telling stories that have more of a twist in them and be adventurous in your content – that’s what makes for an interesting read.
