What a twist. Very clever and probably true. Overall I think this idea is most interesting. I hope you continue.

"In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister" (The limits show the master), Goethe said.
I'm not all too certain what we are dealing with here. The prose equivalent of the haiku? Why exactly fifty-five words? Just because you can?
I read the first eight. Honestly, this is not really my thing, but I must admit they are well written. Some made me smile, some made me think "that's clever".
Each is a carefully polished little pearl, an almost perfect miniature. Great job.

Writer's Block: You're Creative mind's way of saying, "F YOU AND YOUR FREAKING STORIES!" lol.
I liked the fact that the grammar is great, and I also like the fact that you hit a problem of many ppl on fictionpress.

LOL. Very funny chapter.
As always I love your perfect grammar in all this.
I also enjoy the fact that these are entertaining and highly addictive. You're a great writer and you playwith people's minds very well.

Ew... I remember times like this. Those are moments when you are placed in the most serious of moments, but something funny pops into your mind and it's like torture to hold inside. Good read!

lolz. Yeah, this is humorous, but also a true reflection of what goes on in the voting booth.
I like that you are making such a collection as this. It's creative and a nice way to make ppl think and smile at the same time.
I also like that there are no grammar errors lol. With 55 words, how can there be room for mistakes!.

Absolutely and exquisitely brilliant. Am I being overdramatic? Maybe. But what I'm trying to say is that I enjoyed each and every one of these stories! Part of that is probably because I can have a very short attention span sometimes, and it didn't take long to read your stories but that's not the only reason why...! You did a marvelous job with these.

I like the buildup you give to such a silly event. It's really funny. The whole piece is cute because it is something I think everyone (or I know I have at least) has wondered about. Nice job!

These are fun :) They're short sweet and cute. And most of them hilarious. I like your style where we're confused and assuming something and then deciding it's wrong and assuming something else. And finally at the end we're told exactly what's going on. And all this happens in 55 words. It's a gift.
and yes I think you're weird with OCD and everything, but I'm beginning to think in real life i'd only love you more for it :D Really, it's not a bad thing, i'm jealous.

A review from the Review Game on its first birthday to thank you for being a part of the community.
I like the situation described here. It is so universal and relateable. I also like the way you describe it. That simile is perfect, but something I ever would have thought of. The only thing is the repetition of the word gone in those two lines was too repetitive. I might replace one with disappears.
Nice job.

I loved all of these. From the one about jelly to the author obsessing over word count (I'm assuming that that one's specific to you. Correct me if I'm wrong) to the woman not wanting to marry and especially, the man voting at random. Awesome. Your stories flow so well that I'm left wondering if you really got everything across in just 55 words. Either way (and yes, I have to repeat this, because I loved all eleven groupings of 55 words and because this is going on my favorites list), awesome. (:
