Hello there! 

This one's an experiment. Recently I garnered a lot of inspiration to write 16-word short stories. Inspiration courtesy- Quora.com. So, following are 15 16-word short stories penned my me. Tell me how you get along with them! And oh! Before you ask, no, there isn't anything too special about the number 16. :)

• It hurts seeing that little boy serve tea, doesn’t it? Wouldn’t he look better at school?

• Foolish people follow foolish people. Neither of them realize the other’s misfortune. Such an interesting conundrum!

• “I do it so many times”, I shamelessly justified my act of ignoring the beggar’s plea.

• “No stories! Are you a Literature student?”, the professor remarked, oblivious- that was her secret ambition.

• They wept, she cried- she had lost her husband. They wept sympathetically, she- out of love.

• He imagined lovely things. So did she, but it just amused her. He wanted it real.

• Her eyes had uncomfortable pillows under them. She disguised her weeping and unending sorrows for insomnia.

• “When are you taking it from me?” “What?” she asked perplexed. “My heart”, he calmly replied.

• She was a killer. She killed all his dreams to become one herself- an unachievable one.

• They said she had pretty eyes, she indeed had. But failed to notice her prettier heart.

• “Don’t kill me! Let me out, realize my futility, then I will kill myself”, she pleaded.

• She is a plethora of contradictions. Strong, gentle, glad and pensive- all at the same time.

• All he desired for was my life, oblivious, that his desire is what kills me more.

• She talked adorably, like she does with everyone, and he fell for her this time- again.

• If love ever meant anything to her, it was only books, their smell and his smile.
