The Only One I've Ever Loved

All stories must be exactly 55 words. The judges will do a word count to make sure. The title of your story will not be counted to make the 55 words. Words may be repeated as the author sees fit but will be counted each time they appear.

All stories will be rated no higher than 18+. Any text appearing in the forum must be ASR or below. Text in linked stories may be up to the 18+ rating. Any post containing text directly in the forum above ASR will be deleted.

There will be only one entry per round per person.

Hyphenated words will count as separate words. Example: Half-finished will be counted as two words. There are exceptions to this rule. Some words must be hyphenated such as words beginning with a prefix, (such as anti), which cannot stand on its own as a word itself.

Numerals will not be counted as one word, but as the words required to spell them out. For example, "837" would be counted as 4 words (eight hundred thirty seven). You might want to write them out yourself in your entry to avoid confusion.

The Only One I've Ever Loved

By Indelibleink

After all of these years together, I still savor each moment spent with you. Yet another incredible evening: your resplendent beauty dictates that I will love you forever, regardless of whether your feelings toward me ever change.

Now, was that seventy-five or one hundred that we agreed upon?

Duck! That looks like my wife!
