Writers often vary their sentence lengths to create rhythm.
A long, winding sentence — one that stretches, elaborates, and meanders on and on — can set a flowing, thoughtful pace.
Follow that with a short sentence, and suddenly, you have music.
Hear it? Feel the rhythm?
Your mission: Write a short story — but with a twist.
You must follow an exact word count for each sentence.

Here’s the challenge: stick to the word counts given for each sentence below.
