The Basic Five Questions

What a lot of impact you got in this 50-word story. You really make effective use of dialogue with your questions as to what, who where, when, and why. The questions in turn are answered, and it turns out to be the end of a love relationship. This must have been hard to accomplish in such a short word allotment, but you manage to get the story elements and human interest in. judi

Actually it wasn't hard at all. I was thinking about those five questions, recalling a journalism lesson and just sat down and typed it out. A little bit of fun.

Great work, and glad you had fun doing it! judi

This is a clever and humorous entry. Think I'd be gone too if someone grilled me with a battery of who, what, where, why and when. The art work was just out there waiting for you.

You can't vote in this contest, it is site sponsored and committee judged. Had fun with these 50 words, thanks.

Wow! Very good mini-story. Clever idea and you made it work well with the five questions. What else is there to know, but who, where, what, when, and why? :)

Thanks, I was having a little fun.

It is very direct poem , I think. I do not think that a relationship can end in only 5 questions. But perhaps there is nothing to say and that's better.

Thanks, I was having some fun with a 50 word prompt.

Yep. The five questions I learned in high school journalism, or more precisely for fiction, the three we need in fiction: Who is kicking whom, why? and what happens next? Enjoyed it. Best of luck.

Comment from Cumbrianlass
Very clever. I love this prompt. It's a great challenge, and you've met it well. Solid scenario. No doubt as to the scene you're setting.
Good luck, you wicked witch of Cambridge.
Love,
the Fiery Fairy Godmother.

I would be heart broken if Will ever did this to me. I can't imagine the feelings going through her head right now. Great job and good luck in the contest

Can't imagine anything this terse, but then again, these days I hear people break up just using texting.

Doris, your art is very special. Your picture captures the feeling and sentiment of a very terse 50-word story and has more expression than a 600 word essay. Thanks for making your art available to the writers.

Thank you so much.
Comment from Sasha
I saw this contest and said, No way. I can't even order a cup of coffee in 50 words. Great work with this one. I love the use of dialogue to tell the story. You covered it all with this one. Terrific entry for the contest and I wish you all the best.

Comforting words, as opposed to the reviewer who suggested that I look up the format for examples on Google. LOL. Well, either you get it or you don't and I suppose she didn't. Then again...

I had one tell me my recent chapter was too slow and not enough excitement. The whole point of it was to show that the chaos in my life had disappeared...no matter how hard you try, some just won't get it.
