In snowfall I always saw two of you outside my window, dancing awkwardly on the icy driveway. You laughed and threw powder into the air, like confetti. New Year’s wishes of warmer mittens, better memories.
This year it was only you I saw, making angels alone as winter melted away.
Kai is an American college student currently on exchange in Chimay, a town in the French part of Belgium. He was inspired to submit a story after learning about the website in his English teacher Mr. Monin’s class.
This is a very good piece of work. Fitting the story into 50 words is a great challenge.
Congratulations Kai 👏 !!! We’re proud of you 🤩.
Great story that tells so much with so few words! Congratulations!
Wonderful! We read about the 50WS website in our textbook “English File Upper Intermediate” (OUP) during our English class and – as I do it every year – I challenged my students to submit a text and try to be published. Kai, a brilliant American exchange student attending my class at the St Joseph College in Chimay (Belgium), took up the challenge, just like Noe Colle, a Belgian student, did it a few years ago! https://fiftywordstories.com/2017/02/28/noe-colle-fond-of-hard-rock/
I’m over the moon and very lucky to have such creative and talented students!
We’ll celebrate that with the whole class after the spring holidays!
I learned about the website through the same book! I, too, sometimes ask my students to translate 50-word stories of their choice into Persian.
Well done!
Beautifully crafted. Loved it.
