Fourteen Word Stories
These arose during a late night IRC session. RavenD and I were talking about how we both tend to write very short stories, and she said something about her last story being only fourteen words long.
Naturally I took that as a challenge. So did she.
This page is now closed. I do not have the time to update it further.
There's now another page of fourteen word stories and a page of five word stories inspired by this one! Very cool.
