how short would you say a short story is? exactly

Leafy · 09-12-2010, 02:37 PM

No longer than a page.

Kunoichi · 09-12-2010, 02:40 PM

You should put a word limit on it.

Leafy · 09-12-2010, 03:05 PM

How many words do you think the limit should be?

Ummm well, the average short story can be anywhere from 1-5 pages, you already said you wanted to limit it to about a page. The average page is about 275-300 words give or take, so I guess about 300 words? But that seems a bit small, maybe 500?

Leafy · 09-12-2010, 03:51 PM

500 words is the limit.

Kunoichi · 09-12-2010, 04:01 PM

Hey can I be a judge for this round?

NarutoxSakura4ever · 09-12-2010, 04:10 PM

Can I be a judge?

Leafy · 09-12-2010, 04:11 PM

Ok, you all will be the judges.

NarutoxSakura4ever · 09-12-2010, 04:13 PM

Alright.

Invisible Fog · 09-12-2010, 04:15 PM

I will probably post mine tomorrow.

Kiseki · 09-12-2010, 04:41 PM

Can I use a part of my story Izumi I just wrote?
Or does it has to be something completely new?

Leafy · 09-12-2010, 04:46 PM

You can use part of your story.

Monster Addict92 · 09-14-2010, 09:35 PM

here's mine:
He walked along the bridge, knowing what he had lost. He remembered er body, laying there, in his arms and her last breaths. He kissed her on the lips their last, and final kiss. Tears ran down his face. He opened up the small black box in his pocket. It had a beautiful sapphire ornated in silver. The sapphire was as blue as the deep ocean. He didn't know what to do. His journey still was in need of him, yet, he couldn't go along with it. He knew who killed her, and why. Which made him hurt even more. Then he thought about what came back from the autopsy, which didn't help. He felt like he was going to have a heart attack from this pain, or he wanted it to happen. He felt like there was nothing left. Why should he continue his journey when all it has done has brought him nothing but pain. Then he remembered that it actually had brought good memories, meeting his friends, doing his job, and most of all, meeting the love of his life. He almost threw it in the pond, but decided to keep it. His phone rang. After awhile he said: "Understood, I'll be there in a few." Then he walked back along the bridge, knowing that part of his life ended on the other end of the bridge, but a new part had begun on this side.

Kiseki · 09-15-2010, 05:57 AM

I made something new. Not from my story Izumi, but completely something else.

Crystal clear waters with birds floating around in it. As the top of my finger starts to make contact I suddenly forgot who I am, what I'm doing here. The wrinkles on the water are shaping very precise and keep on growing larger and larger. The longer I look at it, the more I'm hypnotized by this beauty of nature. What if I fall in? Will it hurt if my body slowly floats to the bottom of the lake, not getting any air? Slowly taking steps into the water, the wrinkles become larger and all go out of shape. I feel like I'm messing with nature and I feel amazed. Faster and faster I start to walk into the depth of this lake, until I realize... It's not dark! Suddenly all movement stopped, bubbles of air rising around my body and I look around, slowly creating one gigantic bubble around me. A shadow of another person rises from the depth and slowly puts his hand on my bubble. I walk towards him and gently put my hand on the same spot at my side of the bubble wall. Within seconds the entire wall starts to collapse and I snap out of it all at the moment I see my own blood. He stabbed me. My body started to feel cold and I realize something important. Give yourself, then you give your soul. Pain always surrounds us, waiting for you to open up.

Both of these stories are sad, and focus on pain, and have great detail. Awesome stories.

There's still time left, so everyone get your short stories in!

Monster Addict92 · 09-15-2010, 03:54 PM

Kunoichi · 09-15-2010, 04:02 PM
