every Friday, compose a short story of 55 words - no more, no less. if you want to join in the fun and games and give it a try...post your story and report to the boss G-Man!"THE PLANE"
Metal screaming, screeching, twisting, turning, all around me, surrounding me. The lap belt snug and tight.
There is total silence, a hush. Are others alive? Am I alive?
I wiggle my toes, fingers, hands, feet - they're all as they should be.
I stand up without unbuckling, slowly drifting through the solid metal of the airplane.

NOTE: To clarify the above 55 words - they describe a dream I had of my own death.

Sometimes (Often?) a 55-word short story is more interesting than a BOOK. Anna, you have really, gotten the rhythm of this thing.
Congratulations! Good job.
Peace, Happiness. Serenity. LOVE,

Wow this is great...you did a fabulous job with this for sure...I have been too nervous to do it, but this is great!!! You always amaze me and this is impressive I agree with Steve that sometimes less is more...
Oh so sad for her but wasn't it incredible that all those people survived on the Hudson?
That was a fantastic 55, especially for a first try. Great stuff!
Also reminds me of the TV show LOST, which just started it's new season. Good stuff!
