First of all, welcome back to the quill and parchment club! Nice to know the lure of writing has snagged you again, Andrei. Hope the move has gone well.
The challenge of 5 words feels VERY daunting. I’ll play with it but Hemingway’s bar is very high.
I’ve had a weird dry spell … using the 50 and 100 worders to get myself back on the horse.
The great power of words, amazing stories in few letters. The first, is the one I like the most, there's no bigger enemy than ourselves... Hope you new house is as comfortable as you deserve, and that you've found your inspiration again. 😊
All are pretty good, Andrei. But my favorite two are:
Privacy
Don’t come in. I’m dying.
Consequences
Since you died, it’s rained.
Fantastic! Because Hemingway is Hemingway, it's hard to have one's boot on his neck; but you managed to grab him by the beard and give his head a nice shake.

Happy writing ✍️
‘Interior Designer Wanted’ was my favourite !
He. She. Stone unreturned. Again.
Corpse Hemingway can't write. Victory.
I very much like "Since you died, it’s rained." Says so much in so few words. And the last story, so full of wisdom!

My time at Stratton Oakmont (The Wolf Of Wall Street) https://open.substack.com/pub/michael880/p/another-chapter-from-can-i-have-your?r=3b6pw1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Wow these are really interesting! The interior designer one is my favorite; way to turn that concept on its head!
Dad’s Broken Promise hits hard! Awesome.
The other brilliant thing about Hemingway's story is that it didn't need a title...
I know someone who wrote a very short flash story (10 or 20 words) with a title that was four times longer than the story... Cheating!
Bravo. I very much enjoyed this Andrei.
Here's my attempt at a 5 word story: Rickshaw Driver Wanted - Happiness Calling.
Privacy and Consequences pierced my heart. Lovely! 👏
I think you’re onto something with “Unbirthday.” 💙
I enjoyed this. Didn’t know you. I do now. (It’s nine words, damn.)
Very impressive, Andrei! I don't think I could ever manage something like this.
I think "Consequences" is my favourite here.
