What's the shortest thing you've ever written? What did you like or dislike about writing at that length?

In terms of fic, I've got one that's a bit over two hundred words. I was startled by how much I could fit into that length. Most of it was by implication. Of course, the true shortest thing I ever wrote is probably a poem. I haven't written poetry for decades, though, so I don't tend to thing about it much.

I've written a drabble or two that stood at 100 words, but felt restricted by them. I did two different stories that were fixed-length fics of 110 words, and I am fond of those -- they turned out well in spite of not having many words to work with.
