I walked along the winding trail,
the dog running before me,
my wife next to me,
with cliffs to one side,
and a river to the other.
Tall grasses, as tall as me,
and evergreen trees, everywhere.
The wind blew gentle,
as grey clouds drifted by,
and I pondered existence.

Proof that a 50 word story does not need a beginning, middle, and end.
Reminds me of “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” a little bit for some reason.
