Just a brief note informing you that I’ve been traveling and will be taking the weekend off as a result. I have a few reader submissions in the queue, and we’ll get back to those next weekend. In the mean time, I’ll see you on Monday!
*(Did you notice this announcement was 55 words long?)
OK, It’s been a busy week here, and I’m off-line for the weekend. That said I want to announce a slight format change: Reader Submissions are being moved to the weekend. We have consistently been getting enough stories sent in to warrant two full days.
If you submit a story and it doesn’t appear that weekend, be patient. On full weeks (such as this one) I’ll be holding some in reserve, just in case the next week is a little slower.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for contributing.

There is no right or wrong ending to a story, so let your imagination run wild. Just make sure it isn’t violent …read more
Welcome to the 55fiction blog.
This blog is our space within b5media where we will entertain you with works of fiction, but with a twist – each of the stories will be just 55 words (or less) long.
Why only 55 words? Well, its like asking “why bonsai”? or “why haiku?” Humans have always been fascinated by things that are too small or too big. This is an attempt to create fiction that is too small.
55fiction was invented by a magazine, The New Times. Every year they conduct a contest which attracts hundreds of entries. They have published two books so far, …read more
