My wife fancies herself a writer. She bought something called "The Writer's Block" which is a big book of ideas meant to get the creative juices flowing.
One of the anecdotes in the book was of a newspaper that had a story writing competition.
The competition is this:
You had to write a COMPLETE story in under 55 words.
Here is the example in the book (a winner):
Bedtime Story
"Careful, honey, it's loaded," he said, re-entering th bedroom.
Her back rested against the headboard. "This is for your wife?"
"No. Too chancy. I'm hiring a professional."
"How about me?"
He smirked "Cute. But who'd be dumb ehough to hire a lady hit man?"
She wet her lips, sighting along the barrel.
"Your wife".

I was a boring writer, now I'm still the same.
What would make me feel any different, whatsoever, today?
You said it, in no words - just your gimace I caught, I made let it stand.
To cut a long story short, I know no more than I did. I'm still a stupid git.
To you, I let it all hang out.
