Author's Note:
My first exposure to
Oggbashan's work
was through several collections of his fifty-word stories. He grouped them in batches of fifteen to meet Literotica's 750 word minimum. I was taken by the brevity of the almost poetic form and decided someday to try my hand at it myself. Ogg had been good enough to publish
How To Write a Fifty-Word Story
back in 2006, which I found quite helpful in getting me started. In tribute to a gifted and prolific author, and an all-around decent human being, this is my attempt.
The following are fifteen fifty-word stories. The title isn't counted.
01. Candi
"Happy Birthday," my old man said. "Now pick any girl you want."
She took me upstairs to make me a man. Mostly we sat and talked. Be kind and faithful, she said. Pay attention to the little things. Don't grow up to be like your father.
We did it anyway.
02. Beth
She had a reputation in the dorm for being easy. I got drunk at a party and woke up in her bed. She was naked beside me.
Memories came in throbbing fragmentsโfumbling with a purple condom, bouncing tits, her musky smell.
I threw up and we never spoke again.
03. Trisha
I took her out to a movie and dinner afterwards.
She gave me a clumsy handjob on our third date. On our fifth, she gave me her virginity. We did it three more times, but she never really seemed to enjoy it.
I guess I wasn't a very good teacher.
04. Ocean
She was a hippie chick and we had nothing in common, but she loved sex.
Any time, any place, all summer long. She gave her body freely and expected the same in return. I learned so much from her about giving and receiving pleasure.
But I wasn't her only student.
05. Judith
We were together almost two years and always in each other's bed.
She had such perky little tits and she loved all my favorite thingsโmusic, books, hobbies. Maybe my favorite things were just whatever she loved. I asked her to marry me.
She said no because I'm not Jewish.
06. Gwen
It was just a one night stand. We each needed someone and we found each other.
She was aggressive, energetic, passionate. She rode my cock with such hunger, and I banged her with manic desperation.
I needed to get over my ex.
She badly wanted to piss off her boyfriend.
07. Linda
