Tell a story in 100 words
Write a complete scene of no more than 100 words. Let an ordinary decision change something. You can write in any language. The limit is a way to practise selection and rhythm, not a contest between languages.
One brief.
Your perspective.
Any experience level. Work created without generative AI.
Make a start ↗What you need
A blank page and your own draft. A dictionary or spelling tool is fine; disclose the tools you use. Do not generate the story with AI.
A path to try
Draft the scene without counting words. Give someone a small goal, an obstacle and a choice.
Cut to 100 words or fewer. Replace one abstract explanation with an action or a concrete detail.
Read it aloud. Share the final text and one sentence you removed, explaining how the revision changed the effect.
Help the next attempt.
What changes between the beginning and the end? Which detail stays with you? Offer a specific edit without rewriting the story in your own voice.
What to share
Your result, the tools you used, a decision you changed and a question for the community. Upload a cover image or include a public HTTPS link for audio, video, code or a full document. Use your own materials or clearly credit and obtain permission for contributions.
