Write a Story in 50 Words

I’ve posted before about challenging yourself with word count limits.

Here is a LiveJournal group, 50 Word Story, where they write a story in 50 words. Can you do it? I read some great stories in the group. Pretty amazing how much can be told in so few words.

Here’s mine:

A toolbelt pulled his pants low, exposing his butt crack. He smiled at me over his shoulder, flirting.

So I gave him a list of jobs to do. Kept him and his tools busy all day.

At night, years later, he still proves what a smart ass handyman he is.
