55 Fiction is a form of microfiction that renders a work of fiction within a word limit of 55 words. It is a contemporary form of expression which is greatly thriving among the neoteric writers. This is my first attempt and I hope it is worth a glance!
“He was perched on the rocks awaiting her return. He reckoned, anything hurled at the ocean, returns with the waves. At twilight, his sleep perturbed, he had gaped from the porch, as his mother tread into the ocean. It was dusk, he still awaited her return. Alas! The waves couldn’t revert her.”
PS: This is about the bewilderment of a naïve and juvenile mind at being unable to decipher the complexities of life and innocence with which it deals with the atrocities of life.

Hey this is amazing. Liked it a lot. Though I've written a few 55-fictions myself, I'm not a great fan of this genre.
Just one thing though. Don't try to explain it as you've done in post script. Let it hang in the air. Just an opinion. :)
Thanks.. This is my first try so I kind of thought maybe its a good idea to explain a bit.. but I think I will stuck to your advice :D
the innocence you wanted to convey was put through well.... ya karthik is right...
Good first attempt :)
Thats a good one. I liked the way you explained it too. Gave the fiction a new angle..
