A few 55-word fiction

After a long time, here are some 55-word stories for a change to make you smile.

 1. Identity

A policeman stopped the car
‘You jumped the signal. Pay me Rs100’
No, I didn’t. It was green.
‘Sorry. either pay up or take the challan
‘Give me challan’
‘Your license please’
‘See my ID card’

R.Guruprasad
Vigilance Commissioner
Government of ……”

Sir, excuse me. I didn’t know

Never mind. Show me your identity card.

 2. Hello

Hello
Yes, sir
I need a piece of information.
I am new here, Sir
Call someone else
No one here
What crap?
True, all are dead here except me
What bull shit are you talking?
When everyone is dead, how can I say they are alive?
Where are you speaking from?
From the mortuary, Sir

 3. Friendly alert
He whispered in the crowded bus. “Pickpockets are plenty here. Be careful."
Immediately I felt my back pocket and sighed with much relief.
"Thank you for alerting me," I said as he neared the entrance.
When he alighted at the next stop, gratefully I touched my back pocket to find to my shock it empty.

 4. Fortune
I was sitting on the bench at the park.
When a small dog snuggled my feet, I patted it gently
Wagging its tail, it romped on the sidewalk happily. 
A man on cycle foolishly crushed the puppy.
Struck with remorse, he thrust 500 rupees.

“What name?”
“Dunno”
“Strange name” 
I genuinely pitied the street dog.

 5. The First time
My family was away.
I found her when strolling in the mall. Tall, shapely and attractive, she was.
I took her home. How lucky I am, I wondered even as I laid her on the bed.
I gingerly caressed her soft silky hair.
It’s my first gift of a Barbie doll for my baby daughter

 6. Jackpot
The neighbour said first thing in the morning "You will hit the jackpot today!"
I wondered how he knew my plan to visit the Casino.
With high spirits, I determined to try my luck fully. As I took the car out, I broke a flower pot mistakenly. My wife shrieked "You have hit Jack’s pot!!!"

 7. A night at a motel

It was midnight.
“No vacancy,” said the motel clerk.
“There is a key hanging on the board.
“Not suitable for occupation.”
“Give me the key, I have no place to go”
“You will regret”
“Never mind.”
An icy cold hand tapped me from behind as I inserted the key.
“I have lived here for ages.”

 8. Urgent Surgery
“I have unbearable pain below my right abdomen”.
After examination, the physician asked, “Have you made your will?”
Shocked, I asked, “Is it life-threatening?”
“Acute appendicitis”
“It is a minor surgery,” I said
Yes, minor for most but not for Dr Govinda, the only surgeon available.”
“Why?”
“He failed in anatomy thrice scoring single-digit marks

 9. Why?

She met her ex-flame in a mall

He dropped her home

‘Please come in.

‘Surely, I will’’

They sat on the sofa with drinks.

He hugged her tight. She melted

Soon they locked lips passionately

They went into the bedroom closing the doors

The next moment she rushed out screaming

Why?

Sorry, 55 words restriction!!

 10. Clever
The boy opened the bottle lying by the pond. Out came a genie.
“Ask me a wish" 
"Let me ask my mom."
“I cannot give time.”
"Okay, tell me how such a big form can be in the small bottle?”
"Simple like this” the genie went in. Capping the bottle he ran to his mom.
