Why, a writing challenge of course!
Vivian Kirkfield is running her #50PreciousWordContest to celebrate Dr. Seuss's Birthday. And it is too much fun to resist. So much fun in fact that I made two 50 word or less stories. I mean really, who can resist a challenge?

MUSICAL FRIENDS
Blanche Baxter
Ba-dum. Played lonely little drum.
Happy when bell and gong ran in. Ping pong, Ding dong.
Chasing one another round and round. Creating huge rings of sound.
Hours without a care, their rhythms filled the air.
Until their mothers called them home, Ba-dum, little drum left all alone.
And then in the middle of the night, this one came to mind. . . Hehe!
NIGHT WRITING TROUBLE
Blanche Baxter
Absurd!
A story, 50 words!
I wake in fright,
Jump up, clap on the light.
Outlook dank, thoughts blank.
Mind is racing and I'm pacing,
Pencil scratching and erasing.
Just when I think my story's done,
I count–
It's 51!
But wait an idea in sight–
Aha!
