Six Word Stories
PostPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 7:41 am
This is a fascinating art form. There's something about the brevity of a six word story that can be poignant or hilarious. The most famous one was written by Hemingway: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." So much meaning wrapped into so few words.
So this is the thread for your six word stories. It's a great exercise as a writer, trying to ball up as much meaning as you can into six words.
Here's one of my favorites:
Last human. Facebooking. No new posts.
Here are a few of mine:
White spots. My car. That bird...
Parking space.
VRROOMM!
Ferrari.
Sudden bloodlust.
Dare: Frozen pole, my tongue. Mithtake.
Winter, no heater; toilet seat: misery.
Death bed apology. No one heard.
I said, "Stop." He did not.
