50 Word Fictions

50 Word Fiction Fridays Vol. IX

This week’s theme is sleep, because I am very tired and want some. Sleep. Also, there is no fiction from me until tomorrow… or later today is it would be, as I have stayed up too late reading, and am too tired to think of even 27 words, let alone 50. I almost forgot it was Friday, because of those two days off at the beginning of the week.

So … on your mark… git set…. gimme 50 words!
