Challenge
Twist Ending in 50 words or less.
In such a short amount of words it is hard to tell any story. See if you can write a story that sets expectations and subverts them in the word limit. Change the genre from horror to funny or the opposite. Or trick the reader into believing there is something there is not and reveal it in the last line. Surprise us.
Here is an example of a short story by Hemingway: For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
Nearly a Stranger
I catch a glimpse of someone as I'm walking through the city streets. It's someone I once knew well, but she's now looking worse for wear, and her eyes carry the weight of trials I'll never understand. I pull my gaze from the reflection in the window and walk on.
