Heads or Tails
There was a lot of money... and a lot more if it didn't have to be split in half. I had the gun. Ram was busy packing up. I was confused. My conscience was pricking me. Finally I decided to toss a coin. Heads- he lives, Tails- he dies. I tossed it... it came down... Tails!

@US
It's a 55-word thingy... it's difficult to come up with it. There was so much in my head that I wanted to add to it. But I think I managed to edit it out.. and what remains is pretty k.
@Chayya
Ya??? He he... I'd like to see u give it a shot.
@Venky
Itthu than starting da... ;)
you criminal?? konjam thalliye irukanum pa :P but anyway am not rich.. so nan yescapes!
you've put this under the category "Short stories" na? This is actually "tiny story" a.k.a "micro story" :P
What if the coin went down the gutter and he went after it, he saw it was "tails", just before the walls of the old building collapsed on him.
lol...
Great 55F, like it :)
P.S. thanks for the follow and the comment on MM. See ya around! :)
Cool. It came down tails! I can only imagine what must have happened next. Your conscious disallowed you pulling the trigger, or the glitter was too irresistible. Another 55-word flash fiction in the making, I see.
Thats an uncommonly interesting take on fiction..keep up Ajai!!!
@Meow

Tragic ending :( Reminds me of 'Johnny Gaddar' somehow.
@Manju
Ya... i have criminal tendencies. Watch out! ;)
@Dhanya
Yes... JOhnny Gaddar was an influence... and so was the first scene in the latest batman where the joker plays a similar trick on all the other guys.
Dude, what kind of man asks a girl to pay for everything! lmao
A horror story I must say...in very few words :)
I was reminded of a quote I came across recently (though excuse me for mentioning it here as you might not consider it directly linked to your post):
"Whenever you are in doubt, toss a coin not because it solves the question but because while it is in the air you know what your heart is hoping for".
Wow.
That was an interseting take on fiction.
tried something similar myself, a one sentence story - but found that it gives you more freedom than a specified word limit.
Anyway this was too good. More stories in the line up?
Yikes... U killer!!!!!!
