STORY IN 50 WORDS😮:~HELEN ROWLANDS: The Room
It is always evening in my room. One wall has a painting, the winter cove, water now grey blue, cliffs dominant. Black ideograms; strong cursive brush strokes; the characters telling a story I don’t need to understand.
I go there as they lock down my radiotherapy mask again.
Helen is an experimental Artist and Writer based in South Wales, U.K.

STORY IN 50 WORDS😮:~STORY OF THE MONTH: February 2020
The Story of the Month is chosen from the Story of the Week winners announced from the past month.

Your Pills
It’s been a while since we received new work from Jennifer, and she delivered a characteristically powerful, evocative, poetic piece.
Next Day’s Receipt and How Long Do You Wait? were both also excellent stories, easily capable of winning, but Jennifer managed to outdo them with her use of language and the message she delivered.

STORY IN 50 WORDS😮:~2019 Story of the Year Winner
The winner of the 2019 Story of the Year, along with the $50 prize and enshrinement in the Hall of Fame, is:
After the Water by Evan McMurry
I appreciate the timeliness, imagination, and emotional punch of Evan’s story. He delivered just as much in 50 words as many stories offer in 1,000 or 2,500 or more, always the mark of a great piece of microfiction.
Honourable mentions go to Balloonman by Melody Leming-Wilson and The View After the Climb by Bob Thurber. The candidates for the award this year were very strong, and I enjoyed reading back through them and remembering what a great year of fiction we had in 2019.

Good morning story
🍂The Clever Wife
There lived a Woman whose Husband had a bad habit. The man would drink a lot every day. This caused him to lose his normal senses for most of the time.
The Woman tried many times to help him get out of this habit. But all her efforts went in vain!
Every night, someone else would have to bring him back home. One such night when he was brought home, the Woman had him carried to a grave in the neighbourhood. She thought she could teach him a good lesson by frightening him and then he would stop his bad habit.
Then she dressed herself in a dark-coloured dress. She wore a mask upon her face. She waited for him to wake up.
When the Woman saw her Husband returning to his senses, she moved towards him with a serious face. Then, she gave him some food to eat and spoke loudly, “Get up and eat, it is my job to bring food for the dead.”
The Husband was very scared. He ran home at once. From that day onwards, he gave up his bad habit.
We must leave our bad habits.

Good morning story
🍂The Parrot
An Old Man was very lonely because his wife had died. He missed her very much, especially their meal-time talk and laughter.
One day, the Old Man decided to buy a Parrot. He thought a Parrot would be the best pet to have, because it could actually talk to him.
The next morning, the Old Man visited the Pet Shop. The shop owner showed him several Parrots. One called for a coach, another asked for a drink and one just made noises! Only one Parrot sat quietly.
The Old Man wondered why it was silent. The Parrot replied, “I think more!” The Old Man thought happily, Ah! What a wise bird!’ Then, he bought the silent Parrot.
Now every day, the Old Man tried to teach his new pet to talk, sing or make a new sound. Sadly, the Parrot refused to learn anything new It would only repeat, “I think more!”
The disappointed Old Man angrily said, “Oh Parrot, you are a fool! Alas, I am a bigger fool than you, because I believed that you were wise, simply because you pretended to think more!”
Do not be fooled by those who pretend to be wise.
