50 Word Stories
1. Injustice
Carmen fails to run when the shot is fired. Tears of injustice spill and mixes with blood and Carmen knows that this is it. She feels life slipping away with every second. Carmen desperately tries to move her weak body. “Life is unfair,” she gasps out with her last breath.
2. War
The drone of heavy bombers makes a sound like that of the sky being ripped open. Sirens wail in the distance. Smell of dried blood fills the air. The ground beneath Tara begins to shake. She huddles tightly against her father’s strong, comforting form; her weak and frail body shivering.
3. Turning point
“It’s always my fault!” Brandon lashes out with fuming madness at his wife. She looks at him with an unfathomable expression in her eyes. He takes a deep breath and leaves the house. He says his last adieus to everything in the world, which gives him more pain than happiness.
4. The Lake
“Go on” he says in a casual manner, although his eyes belie utmost seriousness. Ricky’s eyes gaze into the murky depths of the water. A delicate puff of cool wind brushes itself against his cheeks as the past comes flooding back into his mind. He sees himself killing his son.
5. Dejavu
Miranda feels a strong a sense of dejavu when she enters the room. The heavy silence fills the air and clogs up her nostrils. She walks towards the door and tries to unlock it. Her clammy hands tremble as the door slowly opens. A portrait of her stands before her.

Hello Vani =)
I came here to put my admiration on your collections. I’m not really certain that all them is your own writing or just selections of readings. But they’re really indicate a beautiful taste.
I found your blog casually. I was searching for some stories that my help me to improve my English. For instance, I’m Arab.
I like to read a lot, but not so much with English.
So, I’m glad with the chance that led me to your blog.
Keep it up. It worths your time.
&
Thanks
