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.

The Girl
She walked down the street on a new spring day.
A warm breeze blew hair and clothes.
The engulfing breeze raised them skyward, and left her in a new born state.
The breeze became stronger.
She was pushed down the street, filled with terror into the unknown.
Into the afterlife.
