This is my entry for the 50 Precious Words contest hosted by Vivian Kirkfield. The contest objective is to write a kid friendly story no longer than 50 words. Folks, 50 words is not a lot of words to work with to write much of anything, let alone a story with a beginning, middle and end. But that’s what makes this writing contest challenging and intriguing.
This is my first time participating, and my story is below! It’s exactly 50 words. Let me know what you think in the comments!
NEW POINT OF VIEW
Ruby whines. Walk time!
My shoes slip on icy sidewalk.
Ruby’s leash rips from my hands.
Arms flail like a windmill.
Houses tilt. Sky takes their place.
SMACK!
Back on concrete.
ZING!
Pain. Body. Ouch.
SLURP!
Ruby’s wet kisses.
“You’re right. The snow does look nice from here,” I groan.
