For many years we ran an online journal for guest 55 word stories. We met wonderful people and read so many amazing submissions. Then things got too busy and we had to stop (very reluctantly). To everyone who submitted stories or read them or passed them on to friends, thank you so much! We had an amazing time and we hope you did, too.

We will leave all the stories up forever unless a writer wants to take one down (just email me). Enjoy!
