5 50-word stories

Seconds Minutes feel like seconds as Cheryl tries to unlock the room. The angry flames are consuming the room rapidly. The colour is too piercing to one’s eyes. She chokes as she screams. Cheryl grabs a chair near her and starts banging it aggressively against the door, but to no avail.

Obliviousness Grace shows no hint of awkwardness on her face. She walks into school, into class. Her face faces front with a frigid calm and her eyes seems constantly still. It is weird how she seems oblivious to her classmate’s stares. Was she clueless that she was in her pajamas too?

The Date Wilfred’s eyes dart around the room with his heart beat accelerating. He taps his feet and turns to his watch. ‘Another five minutes’, he thought, albeit rather skeptical. He straightens his tie again and tries sitting still. A man, dressed to the nines, walks over and hands Wilfred a rose.

The Twin Jocelyn is oblivious to Edmund who has been stalking her for days. Edmund feels it is wrong but does it anyway for money sake. They are at the funfair today. Jocelyn throws a can away. Edmund picks it up and examines, as if something important. For days, this investigation seems pointless.

The Attraction Jacqueline takes a deep breath as the opening of the song begins. Her body begins to move to the beat. Fast, almost impossible moves. Suddenly, Jacqueline stops dancing. Her eyes widen as she stares at the two men standing at the back of the room. Two gunshots went off after.
