In Sixty Words or Less
I noticed this site, “Pan in 60” yesterday where all the posts are telling a compact story, in sixty words or less. I found the stories there quite interesting, and the concept appealed to me. I decided to try my own hand at it. Below is the result of my efforts. It is a true story too…
The Rude Old ManThe old man rode by me, looking at me quite curiously. I nodded a greeting, but he passed, no acknowledgement whatsoever! When I reached the shop, the shopkeeper was telling the old man, “Be careful, remember your pressure.”. He left. The shopkeeper turned to me. “His grandchildren been giving him trouble”.
“You reap what you sow, I guess”, I thought.
Now here is an idea for a meme… go ye forth and come up with your own little sixty word stories nuh?
Note: I know some people just read the top post and then they are gone, thinking that this is all that has been written here since last they visited. I wrote another post this morning, so scroll down and go read it, cool?
Peace.

Interesting, I should try my hand at one of those extremely short stories.
Another blogger, Piu, once challenged me to do a 50 word story. Oh man, it was hard but I did it. Phew.
So MB, where’s your 60 word story?
I’m going to try it tonight Whole lotta left brain stuff today.
Peace
@ GG – Thats it up there… ok, I know it isn’t sensational, but…
Oh, and I think I read your 50 word story. That story was probably the first thing I read at your site.
@ Geoffrey & Stunner – I’ll be looking out for it.
Mad Bull,
I just finished the story. It’s over at my site. When you come through the dor, doan mind the dog, him don’t bite, only if you come to tief beer. Then, him bite and bite hard.
Yeah, I read that Blog too, think it’s quite a nice idea.
Oh, that’s yours, it’s good, MB, well done. I missed the line where you said you were going to try it.
Glad to see my little group’s idleness has inspired others’ creativity.
Idleness, indeed!
After the next two that I’m working on, no mas!
