Fifty Words

Sam writes exactly fifty word stories Monday through Friday.

long sleepless night

He couldn’t sleep for words. They slipped from under his eyelids like tears, pulsed beneath his translucent skin in tangled veins, slowed his heart to stopping. He woke up to write, but they scurried away like ants, floated like butterflies, burned like distant lightning bugs in his long sleepless night.
