Nanostories
by Iris-Rei
Once, my brother submitted a whole bunch of "nanostories" to some website or the other. Nanostories are stories that are about 55 words or less, about the size of a paragraph. And they're complete stories, too.

Evil?
---
There's no doubt. I'm evil. No amount of good deeds will change me. I will always be black... But I saved you, helped you escape, destroyed your enemies... Am I evil?

Hidden
---
It's there...hidden. No one knows it but us; hidden behind masks. But when our masks come off... There is friendship and love.

This Girl
---
I'm losing sleep. It's been eighteen days. Why hasn't she called me? Jim wonders why I don't eat, why I stay by the phone all day. He doesn't know this girl.
=== ===
Sorry
---
I'm sorry... For all those days when I didn't love you. For being far away when you needed me close. For not caring when I really did.

Is That What You Want?
---
Is that what you want? To love him behind his back, never telling him how powerful your love is? How you would move mountains for him? Giving him subtle hints, ones he doesn't understand? You watch him. He ignores you. Sadness and tears are the only things coming from you. Is it?
