Another 55-word "story," inspired by a rather profane (yet funny) piece of art by David Fullarton called "Gratuitous Simian Profanity." If you care to take a gander, look here. It will definitely enhance your story-reading experience. However, if you are easily offended, it's probably better that you avoided the art and just read my story. (It's not actually a story at all, as there aren't necessarily any characters, plot, setting, exposition, climax, resolution, or anything in between. But there's nothing else to call it. Plus, I enjoyed writing it, so it doesn't really matter.) This one's called "RSVP" and is best read with a British accent.

Your incessant boasting of that luxurious penthouse apartment is obnoxious. You avoid the fact that most of your millionaire neighbors use their frivolous spending to mask their clinical insanity. Further, I (somewhat) regret to inform you that I will be absent from your birthday dinner; the gorilla next door scares the crap out of me.
