This fifty-five-word story, The Diagnosis, has the required word count and allows that if you go to the doctor with a dog you may be diagnosed with fleas.

I liked this story it was humorous. You told the story well in 55 words. I have a hard time telling a story in 100 words. The picture is good and goes well with your story. Very good job.

    I am so pleased my story amused you, Brenda. Yes, writing a whole story in 55 words is a challenge, but Rockwell provided all the inspiration I needed.

What a heart-warming story with a funny, surprise ending. Just wondering if another word would work better than "suddenly"? I don't know, I might be wrong. I loved this story overall, and I hope it does well in the contest. Also, I want to say Speckles is a really cute name for a dog.

    I am so pleased you found my story heart-warming and funny, M Esther. I originally chose Spot for the dog?s name, but thought that was too masculine for her.

    Personally, I prefer Sprinkles :)

A very good entry for the 55 Word Story Writing Prompt. The criteria was met with exactly 55 words. This was a cute story with a humorous ending. The artwork that accompanies it works well. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.
