War

War- a series of battles waged between two foes, resulting in destruction and a great loss of life.

However, a torrent of flame, upon flooding a forest, leaves more than mere ash and silence. The ash will nourish a new generation of plants, which will thrive once more in the serenity of silence.

Thus, war can also be a productive force, as has spawned many great thinkers, creators, and technologies.

Twist Ending in 50 words or less.
In such a short amount of words it is hard to tell any story. See if you can write a story that sets expectations and subverts them in the word limit. Change the genre from horror to funny or the opposite. Or trick the reader into believing there is something there is not and reveal it in the last line. Surprise us. Here is an example of a short story by Hemingway: For sale: baby shoes, never worn.

Black

Inky veins pulsing

vacuum into light;

mouth agape, ever yawning

in the heart of night
