Word Cap
Each story should be exactly 50 words, though a +/- cap of 3 words is allowable (if not in the real spirit of things).
Completeness
Each story should ideally be a tale in its entirety, rather than an excerpt from a larger story.
Perspective, Genre, Tone...
That's all up to you fine people.
And that's basically it! I've done one in an atrocious attempt at mimicking typical Glaswegian banter, though I'm fairly sure any proper Weejy would crucify me if they read it. Anyways...

A masterpiece... I know. Give it a shot! It passes the time.
To reach the place I had to go,
But sixty five might do the trick-
Yes sixty-five! I think that's it.
Pity then, as I sped up,
A turn of chance; a break of luck,
And as I broke the legal limit,
A squirrel ate my face.
It's 30 for a reason.
Or the magic counting ability of 10 HANDS!!
Or not.
I suppose Word would help here, but I don't have it on this laptop sorry.
