Woot woot!
I love "55 a day" and I’m not just saying that because I contributed to it a few times. I contributed to it because I love it. It’s fun to try to get a point across in only 55 words, and it’s fun to see what other talented writers can do.
The site is difficult to rate because there are a plethora of stories, styles and writers. There is humour, but also horror, fantasy and sci-fi. It’s a little bit of everything. I’m saying four out of five because Ari disappeared for months, leaving me without my daily fix, and then simply reappeared again, ready to get me all re-addicted. Clever bastard.

Where to begin?
How many of us have started in on Tolstoy or Vonnegut or, for the love of anything, SHAKESPEARE, and had to wait a couple weeks to get to the punchline, picking up a chapter here and there between various hectic activities?
Well, worry not. Now you can pick up as many stories as you want in bite-sized form: supremely elegant works of minimalism, lullabies, love stories, breakup stories, time travel stories (and combinations!) and you can read them in under a minute each. A great time-waster and a generally great way to spend a lunch break or evening.
(I know this guy, and have written for this site, but I am the first to curse him out and tell him when something is utterly terrible. His site is not terrible.)
