Hello, and welcome to the home of the SHORT stories!

This is no longer a contest, but I want to keep this in/out because I want everyone to have fun trying their hand at writing some of the shortest stories ever. So pretty much all you have to do is write one or two sentences that actually tell a story, and be creative! Good luck!
