25-Word Challenge
Using only 25 words or less, write a story about the human condition. Sad, funny, your choice as to the tone, as long as it's about the interaction between people or with a person themselves.
"Robert Swartwood was inspired by Ernest Hemingway's possibly apocryphal six-word story - 'For Sale: baby shoes, never worn' - to foster the writing of these incredibly short-short stories. He termed them 'hint fiction' because the few chosen words suggest a larger, more complex chain of events."
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool of 64.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Thursday, December 31, 2020.
