THE 50 WORD STORY

A collection of these fifty word minatures was published by the author in 1992 under the title
Head Rooms ISBN 1-875-710-03-5

The fifty word story is an arcane art. Each story must be exactly 50 words, not counting the title. There must be a beginning, middle and end, and a story worth telling, of course. But the real art is in making it look effortless, and believe me, that ain't easy.



There are seventy of these little suckers here. A few have seen the light on day in different publications, but mainly they are useful to encapsulate plot ideas. Several have turned up in (much) longer versions in other of my writings. Mainly plays, of course. What else would I write?
