55-word stories are just that—stories told in 55 words. The genre was
coined by Steven Moss, founder of the New Times weekly in San
Luis Obispo County, CA, which sponsored the first 55-word story
contest in 1987. Since then, many communities, including medicine,
have found the form useful in telling their unique experiences.
