Here is a challenge anyone and everyone...?

Question

I ask anyone who is willing and able to submit a 55 word story, no more, no less, which has a main character, a plot, a setting, and a resolution. I will be checking to make sure they are 55 words. I heard about this idea from a friend who heard about it from a friend who said the New Yorker recently hosted the same challenge. Good Luck!

Thanks everyone so far for sharing their stories. They are all a lot better than I would have expected, and it's awesome that that many people are posted their creative input. Thanks again

Deep underground, the dead dinosaurs dreamed dark oily dreams. Suddenly they found themselves pumped to the surface and burned. Their pale ghosts rose into the sky, and there they milled about, apatosaurs and allosaurs and archaeopteryxes, looking down on a world capped with ice. Dismayed, they set about making things properly warm and palm-treed again.
