We had to compose a story that could have only 50-60 words. Either mom or we could pick the subject to write about. It is harder than you think to limit yourself to only 50-60 words. On my first try I had 75-80 words. I had to cram it down several times until I finally got to the word limit.
Here is mine:
Sleep over at Sam's
Nestled under the covers we whispered...
Trying to retain our exploding laughter.
The room was sleepy -
The room was sleepy -
we were about the
only lively things in it.
With each expression we spoke..
we achieved a new volume.
One subject changing to another...
Until suddenly we heard the door creek open.
“Go to bed!” mom whispered insistently.
We drifted off.
