You can most certainly write a nonfiction of 80 words, but, as Galastel says, it won't be an essay. An essay is an argument. It martials evidence in support of a point of contention. You can't do that in 80 words. In 80 words you can pen a proposition or an anecdote or an aphorism, all of which would be unexceptional at that length. This answer is a proposition. It cites no evidence. It clocks in at exactly 80 words.
