Flash 55 Fiction

Flash fiction is a fictional work of extreme brevity that still offers character and plot development. Identified varieties, many of them defined by word count, include the six-word story,  the 280-character story (also known as "twitterature"), the "dribble" (also known as the "minisaga"; - Wiki.

Flash 55 fiction, often called “micro” or “nano” fiction, is the art of creating a complete short story in exactly 55 words, no more, no less.

Here is my attempt. 3 stories!!

One pure fiction

The other two stories, I will let you decide!

The Hitchhiker

The hitchhiker settled in his seat and casually asked, “Do you believe in Ghosts?”  The driver laughed, “What nonsense. I am a 21^st century realist. No God no Devil and no Ghosts for me!”

As the car passed by the local cemetery,

“Please stop” said the stranger.

He opened the door, got down, and vanished!

Tom and Daisy

He followed her, everywhere.

Day and night.

In the park, through the roads, over the play grounds and all around the neighborhood.

Finally, he won her affection and they united.

For them,

No vows were taken

Nor rings were exchanged

No priest either, to bless their wedding

For Tom was a dog

And Daisy another.

Rushing to Airport

5.00AM

"TAXI STAND!!  Gaadi bhejo, JALDI".

"Wrong number", a sleepy old voice replied.

Finally, taxi arrived, I checked in and inside the departure lounge I called the 'wrong number' and apologized.

Thanks, young man. I am enjoying a hot tea and watching the glorious sunrise which I would have missed otherwise, the old lady replied.
