I love this challenge. It may seem easy. Fifty words of fiction that tells a story. Exactly 50 words is flash-flash fiction: no more, no less. It’s not easy at all.

“Can we come back?” Emily quavered.

Grandpa shrugged. “You’re already a scientist.”

I could hardly wait to write this story. Still, 50 words were hardly enough.
