So after reading my friend Esme’s wonderful flash fiction that she published in 101 Words, I decided to give it a shot myself, as it seemed like an interesting challenge to try to create a story with only 101 words.
I am proud to say, they liked my story I was published too. I would like to believe that I am as excellent a quality of writer as my friend, but it may also be that they’ll publish almost anybody. I shall believe the former in order to keep my friend’s spirits up. 🙂
Without any further ado, follow this link for my story.

Congratulations, Swarn. You should be proud. 🙂

“I would like to believe that I am as excellent a quality of writer as my friend, but it may also be that they’ll publish almost anybody. ” – Talk about giving with one hand and taking away with the other! Hahahahaha. I can assure you not every applicant gets in — I am even more sure though that very few of those who do succeed are of as fine a quality as your offering Swarn.
Thank you so much for the link, kind words and big clouds!

I like to make people aware of all possibilities and let them decide! Thank you Esme for your kind words. I am still proud of myself as it was my first attempt, so if not everybody gets in, then I do have good reason to be proud!

You should be very proud sir, paring the story down again and again is incredibly tricky and to manage that with a good tale within as well is pure skill.

Pretty clever, Swarn. 😉
Your composition prompted me to try and accomplish the same. Alas, I could not limit my creativity to 101 words no matter how hard I tried (maybe another time). However, the mere act of composing produced the results located here.

That’s beautiful Nan! It is hard to pare down 101 words. They first told me they liked my story but wanted me to add a line into my story of by the car pulling away. So all of a sudden I’m trying to think how to add even more words and get rid of others. It’s a good mental exercise, but can also be frustrating. lol
