Fifty Words Long: Clunes Show 2011 Submission Ideas


Unpublished: Exception Facebook

Idea One:

"So it's got to be how long?" 
"Fifty words."
"What topic?"
"Free form, just an exact word limit."
"So what are you going to write?  Some existential metaphor about the creative process?"
"Don't know.  Prose isn't really my strength.  I can't hide behind rhymes."
"What if you run out of words?"

Idea Two:

Mummy!  There's a monster!  Under my bed... I can hear him breathing.  He smells... he smells like Daddy's socks... MUMMY! He's  scratching the wall! No, Mummy, it's not a pusscat.  It's a monster!  Mummy... don't look... don't go under the bed!  He'll get you!  He got teddy... Mummy?  Mummy?!?  MUMMY!
