Fiction 55 – First attempt

Here is my first pathetic attempt at writing a Fiction 55. I like reading fiction 55 a lot so I thought let me attempt writing one.

My inspirations for this were Sid, Shruti and Shilpa, who are 55 fiction experts 🙂

Wikipedia says “55 Fiction is a form of microfiction that refers to the works of fiction limited to a maximum of fifty-five words.”

A literary work will be considered 55 Fiction if it has:

  1. Fifty-five words or less (A non-negotiable rule)
  2. A setting,
  3. One or more characters,
  4. Some conflict, and
  5. A resolution. (Not limited to moral of the story)
  6. The title of the story is not part of the overall word count, but it still can’t exceed seven words.

HELP ME!

Time was slipping by and she found not a single salesperson. Eventually, she stumbled upon someone in blue shirt.

“Can you help me find this?”, she begged.

“Wish I could. But I cannot help you find it”, he replied.

“Why can’t you?” 😮

“I just happened to wear a blue t-shirt today. I don’t work here!”
Many times while shopping, I faced this situation wherein because of confusion, I mistook a customer for a salesperson. And realized later after getting embarrassed 😀 These days, I start with “Do you work for this store?” and then proceed with my query.

Any suggestions to improve my fiction 55? I would love to hear suggestions!!

  15. Actually I liked the subject as it is fresh. Usually people try to bring some serious subject to the fore in their 55 fiction. Whereas I think it should be like a small snippet of life.
