51-Word Story #50: The Editor's Endless Trouble

Eilyk thought her troubles were over, but during one particularly unproductive day, she realized something dreadful: she was suffering from hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, which can mean the end of a career. Her old lucky shoe must've been keeping her condition at bay. She knew what she had to do: find her lucky shoe.

(Prompt words: Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, unproductive)

  1. A lucky shoe, huh? This leaves me wondering what kind of career she has, as well as how the shoe could possibly relieve her fears.

  2. I think it's more of a placebo effect than anything else. She's probably a very superstitious person.
