    55 words

    After several minutes of consideration, I deduced that people would not hate me for creating this thread. I thought it might be an interesting topic to probe the creative minds here.

    My English teacher (who makes me not hate English nearly as fervently as I had previously) assigned us a story to be written in 55 words. No more. No less. Mine had to do with (guess...) skiing. There were others from some more "normal" people about horse races and school lectures, and the stupidity of our Citrix system at school, etc. etc. etc. So I want you guys to do the same: say what you can in 55 words. I'll bet I'll hear some extremely unexpected, random, deranged, etc., but most of all humorous responses...

    Here is mine, if anyone cares:

    It was waist deep. Deeper in the trees. And cold. So cold. Every turn was a refreshing plunge into the frozen abyss. I mached rhythmic turns off the Cirque, loving every minute of it. These days are not many. I welcomed choking for breath between each pummeling by the 10-degree white fluff. I love Altabird.

    Edited because 1) I wanted to reduce ambiguousity about choking and 2) I like it better.

    Mine's sort of plagerized...

    I was deep in her waist. Deeper ever before. And warm. So warm. Every thrust was a refreshing plunge into the flesh abyss. I mached rhythmic turns, loving every minute of it. These days are not many. She welcomed the ninety eight point six-degree choking spray down her throat. I love doing hot chicks.

    Maybe you should write one about skiing too.

    She's smiling at me looking into my eyes. I'm cold, wet, and ugly but she doesn't care. I haven't been this excited since I caught my first fish looking back and talking to her it hits me, I'm here talking to someone who I see love in her eyes. We get off the lift I forget her after 3 turns.
    Its not that I suck at spelling, its that I just don't care

    At this point I thought a bear had jumped through your window, knocked you off your chair and started typing.

    I also realised that the bear could spell and miraculously had learnt to use punctuation. However, if a kid from AK struggles with spelling how is a bear going to be able to do it.

    Bottom of the 10th in Game6 of the 1986 World Series. Mookie Wilson steps up to bat and hits a slow grounder that should have been an easy out. But the Curse of the Bambino caused the slow grounder to trickle through Boston first baseman Bill Buckner’s legs allowing the winning run in.

    Well, Rhonda had a house in Venice, lived on brown rice and cocaine.
    Patty had a house in Houston, shot cough syrup in her veins.

    Janet wrote bad poetry in a crazy kind of urgency.
    Tanya Turkish liked to f*** while wearing leather biker boots.
    Brenda's strange obsession was for certain vegetables and fruits.
    Roeena was an artist's daughter, the deeper image shook her up.
    Dee-dee's mother left her father, took his money and his truck.
    Debbie-Rae had no such problems, perfect Norman Rockwell home.
    Nina, sixteen, had a baby, left her parents, lived alone.
    Bobbie joined a new-wave band, and changed her name to Bobbie-sox.
    Eloise, who played guitar, sang songs about whales and cocks.
    Terri didn't give a shit, just a nihilist.
    Ronnie was much more my style, she wrote songs just like this.
    Jezebel went forty days drinking nothing but Perrier.
    Dinah drove her Chevrolet into the San Francisco bay.
    Judy came from O-hi-o, she's a Scientologist.
    Pomerante, here's a kiss, I chose you to end this list.

    OK. I'll play for real...

    No one has ever died in my family. Of course, if you are a family of one, then that's plain. I'm not a family of one. Still no one has died yet. I wonder what that will feel like. Will it be a sad or angry feeling? How will I cope? What if it's me?

    You've got to love gravity. It sends me reeling in a headlong plunge, choking and whooping, slashing and smearing down Alf's High Rustler. We foolishly think we can defy it but we're forever in its thrall. My English teacher, on the other hand, isn't so stoked on gravity. It's done strange things to her boobies.

    55. Thats me as of yesterday. Am I required to move over to Epic now? My parents called and jokingly said I could move into their retirement city in Arizona and be their neighbor now. My ski season finally ended in July at 45 days, I should try to match my age this coming season!
    In drove this drunken madman and stopped on a dime! Unfortunately the dime was in Mr. Rococo's pocket!

    As you approach the cliff edge, at forty miles an hour, the world slows down. You feel each oxygen particle hitting your face. Then you fly.

    Others will say dust to dust; you gave it all up for one mad moment. Only you know, just before you hit the rocks, that your flight is eternal.

    Max...well written. Don't be afraid of the semi-colon.

    And if your English teacher tells you that "mach" is not a verb; respond that he is a stinking JONG and it FKNA is too.
