Gone Fishing
Trying out writing stories under 50 words ...
Anyone who knows me will tell you I will use 337 words instead of the two needed whilst chatting, especially if a bit manic (I have bipolar) so I am challenging myself to write stories that are complete under 50 words. Here is my first attempt.
Gone Fishing
The fish was a big one, bigger than he had ever landed before. It had an unusual skin made up of gold coloured scales that, if the power plants chimneys hadn’t blocked out the sun, would certainly have shimmered.

Winter
Does It have Pockets is a fantastic online literary magazine which gave me so much support when I submitted 'Winter' a piece about my favourite character out of those I have created - Winter Williams/Winta Wicks. This piece was published in their April edition along with some incredible writers. It is one of the first pieces I have been paid for. You can find it on https://www.doesithavepockets.com/fiction/alyson-smith . I recommend submitting to this magazine, they were so encouraging and supportive.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
