“If only she didn’t nag so much” he lamented as he shoved her lifeless body into the freshly dug pit.

I Used To Love Her...
Moonlight illuminates her svelte figure. His eyes drank in her exquisite beauty. She is a picture of serenity, lying peacefully in his arms.
He let out a long drawn sigh….
“If only she didn’t nag so much” he lamented as he shoved her lifeless body into the freshly dug pit.

School's Out!
Just one more minute. One more agonising minute until summer vacation. Sally's eyes are trained on the clock, urging on the second hand.
Ten seconds left....
“RINGGGGG!!!”
Sally stormed from her desk, laughing hysterically.
The eight year olds stared in astonishment, mouth agape. Their Maths teacher has always been calm and composed.

Eleanor and the Magic Lamp
Eleanor found a magic lamp
That weighs but a gram
She gave it a violent shake
And out popped a little sheikh
"Hello little one
Your wish is my command
For you a wish I grant"
"Dear me, dear me
This cannot be
Alladin had three
Why not me?"
"I'm sorry Eleanor
But you can't have more
Now, stop being a bore
And tell me what you wish for"
"If that is the case
Let's cut to the chase
I wish for a little pony
One that is not too bony"
"I am afraid that can't be done
Because I don't have one
Instead little miss
How about a kiss?"
"Now you're just taking the piss!"
Say Eleanor with a hiss
"I wish you are condemned
For eternity in your bloody lamp!"

Divine Intervention
Thunder rumbled overhead. Black clouds gathered ominously.
"The gods are angry! Bring me the sacrifice!”
The acolyte drags the child forward.
The priest raises his dagger….
CRRRACKKK!!!
A bolt of lightning hits the priest, killing him.
Sunlight penetrated the black sky. Dark clouds began to part.
The gods are appeased.
There you go! My first 50 word short story. Hopefully, the first of many!

The Fifty Word Challenge
I am challenging myself to write at least one fifty word story a week. Here's why:
1. I get to write something that I can actually COMPLETE,
2. good brain workout
3. and I get to update my blog regularly.
