Challenge
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.
Perspective
A haunting chant floated through the door as we pushed it open with a creak.
Inside, the giant image of a tortured man loomed on the wall.
And someone was feeding people… a body!???
I seized my friends’ arm. “What is this place?”
She smacked me. “A Catholic Church, silly.”
