55 Fiction, Here I Come - Volume 1
After being inspired by Neel Mehta's blog, I plan to give the world of 55 Fiction a try from time to time. In a nutshell, 55 Fiction requires writers to pen fictional tales using no more than 55 words. Sounds fun, yes?

Love it, Jason C! This might have to become a regular running (is that redundant?) feature!

Well done, TF and Jason C. I plug 55 Fiction because it's a terrific format and, let's face it, easy to read and write. Keep it up!

But 55 Fiction doesn't lend itself to snide response comments...
