Russell Jaffe's Five Word Story Challenge

You all know six word stories. It is bullshit. They usually suck although they shouldn't but for some arcane reason it always happens that way - no matter how hard you try to charge the narrative and pack the punch - it is always a whimper and never a reality warp.

Its joke is in its elusive nature. It seems to be simple but it is beyond simple. It is nothing and all you get is what you make of it on your own. A literary equavalent of placebo. Down with it.

But what if we take away one word? That makes a five word story. Is any different? Not exactly but who cares? 

Russell Jaffe aka editor of TL;DR magazine had posted on his FB-account a challenge to write some five word stories because six word story format is not enough anymore anyway.

my entries:
  1. nightfall. pounding blue hand bulge. 
  2. flytrap licker hugs chalk dancing. 
  3. horseradish daisies decay. orangutang blushed. 
  4. blurt entropy - chops horrors. duck. 
  5. fix gloomy blankly. eerie wink.
  6. octopus drops blood. perfect smile.
  7. Estimate pineapple. Moan blow. Fumbling
  8. humble glimmer fright. bitter gaunt (silence). 
  9. frisky heart jerk. hatchet elevation.
  10. twisted clouds hoop. pinch. smirk.
