150 word short story

I found a page with 150 word short stories. They seem like a good fit for this. 150-Word Short Stories – Emilie-Noelle Provost

Maybe this one is good:
Outside the funeral home, I heard a boy say that she had fallen off the back of her boyfriend’s motorcycle. Broken her neck. She never knew what hit her, he said. I was 13. The dead girl had been a junior in high school.

The line to see her snaked around the building. Boys with long hair, wearing ties they’d borrowed from their fathers, and girls with thick blue eyeshadow smoked cigarettes in the parking lot. Someone passed a bottle of Jack. There were no adults there, just very old kids.

She almost looked like she was sleeping, except that she was too still. There was a puffiness to her face that didn’t seem quite right. They had dressed her for the prom; the crinoline sleeves of her gown like poofs of pink cotton candy. Some kids prayed, but I couldn’t. I just stared at the roses in her corsage.

more literal English translation

It's a house for saying goodbye to the dead. Outside, I hear a boy says she goes down through the space behind from a tool to go with two round ones, and breaks the line that holds a head.

It's said "she doesn't know what's happening". I've been around for 13 years. To this, she is coming to know, as a small one, within a big place.

A human line wanting to look exists around a building. It has boys with big lines on their heads, heads held by lines clothed by lines from parents. It has girls with eyes clothed in blue-coloured surfaces. Both of these lots breathe cooked medicine in the land for tools to go. One person gives a container of crazifying water. It has no big people, only little ones that are unnew in a big way.

Almost, the departed girl looks like one sleeping, but stays stills to a bad degree. The face is lumpy in a soft way that looks crazy. A worker has dressed her for a fun time that finishes learning. The clothing of her arms are not plant-based and are fluffy and are red; it is as fun sweet fluffy food. There are little people talking to one above. I can't. I look at a coloured plant covering her body.
