Some bag ladies carry bags of belongings everywhere they go, and wonder where their next meal will come from.
Other bag ladies carry bags of knitting everywhere they go, and think the first kind of bag lady needn’t exist.
Gucci bag ladies walk right by that first kind without shame.
This is my entry to @mariannewest's daily freewrite for the prompt bag lady. My story is NOT, however, a freewrite. This little story is a zapfic, a story that is exactly 50 words long. To write a story in exactly 50 words is not as easy as it sounds, and takes much much longer than five minutes.
Come write with us!!! Newbies, real humans will read your post!
I agree with you that the fewer words, the more difficult it is to find a topic and write.

There is one more kind...the one who carries her super hero utility belt in her purse! Yes, I have one of those....
Ultra short stories require much more thought! I read a science fiction story that was written to be printed on a postage stamp, but I wasn't able to find it just now. It was pretty good!
The other thing hard to write is a haiku!

I love writing haiku. It can take me a full week to get one ready for a contest. The simple things are the most difficult to convey.

I knew you wrote haikus, LOL! They are difficult, which makes them fun. 😁
The last one I wrote was a reply to the haiku bot...just to see what it would do. It apparently won't respond to a deliberate haiku.
I have two books in outline form that I need to spend some time on....

I have done the same thing with haiku bot!!! It never picked up on my deliberate 17 syllable comments.

It is likely programmed to ignore deliberate haikus, LOL! I'm glad you're as sick as I am....

It amused me a bit. It was so very bad at haiku, showed that bots can't be artists. Artists go beyond reason, into feeling. Bots can't feel. At at least I hope not.

Not yet, but there is some work trying to impress organic memory into computers.
A fools errand I suspect; but some people think it might be immortality.

They forget that without the spark of life, there would be nothing at all.
