Day 12 of Writing 101 was to attempt to write a post of a specific length. One suggestion was a 50-word story and I’ve never done one of those before so I thought I’d give it a go.
See below for the astounding results…
The Letter
The paper glided confidently off her printer juxtaposing her own self-doubt. Was she doing the right thing? She reviewed the arguments again in her mind before concluding that her previous rationale still held true. A lack of alternatives was no reason to continue as before.
She signed the letter.
James Proclaims!

I had to read this twice to try and figure out what type of letter she was signing off on.

You could read it a hundred times. But I meant for it to be interpreted by the reader so it’s up to you what the letter is.

Ah, James–I wrote a LENGTHY post that could be considered the extrapolation of this idea, so I interpreted it as the resignation letter I gave to a blood-sucking job. Perfect.

A fine piece of Kafkaesque ambiguity 🙂

I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of being Kafkaesque before. That’s going on my CV…
