Small black flies invaded the office, before taking over the whole city. It got so bad you had to wear a mask to avoid breathing them in. They formed a fine black film over everything, including your skin.
People went mad.
One day, all the flies died. It was over.
This is a 50-word short story. Read more by me on CTTS or by others too on Facebook.

I love this Post : it doesn’t hit my planning to read it entirely ! …and it’s cool. 😉
I would finish this story differently:
“One day, all the flies died. And so did the people.”
Good one! I need to get over my love of happy endings 😉
