Six Word Story

[Zuzy]

Ernest Hemingway is an amazing writer--but you already knew that, didn't you?

Actually, one of the best things he has ever written has to be this six word story:

For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.

The power behind just those six words is impressive. So much can be deduced from it, and yet it's so short. Some people think being able to write a lot makes you a good writer, but honestly, being able to say a lot in as little as possible makes you a good writer.

So, what six word stories can you write?

I wrote one a while ago for a contest (didn't win :()

She never wore her wedding ring.

[Andy]

My sword, my dead friend. Accident.

Really, they have writing contests for this sort of thing? Neat! Where? Sounds like an easy $100 :D

[Zuzy]

Haha, it was a contest on a forum silly. :P but a contest none the less! I could have gotten a free T-shirt...

[Nyx]

Wow that's hard. Here's my pathetic attempt:
Waited forever, he never came back.

[GeorgeMichael]

Selling; Never Opened Parachute, small stain.

(that's not mine, but I just really liked it :))

Winds blew, rattle fell, tears ran.

[Nyx]

These are really fun. I came up with another one:

His cruel triumph, my shattered dreams.

[Andy]

Four, three, two, one, cram, C+

Based on a true story. :D

[Shaun]

Gods rest, gods wake; mankind falls.

[Andy]

Two-hundred. Northwest. Plane. Lost. Found!

That could either be a crashed plane that was found, or a person who used a plane to travel 200 somethings and find something.

[Carraka]

Admin: lock this thread. Thank you.

EDIT: Yeah, that was a story. Heh. I love this idea.

[Andy]

Admin: lock this thread. Thank you.

EDIT: Yeah, that was a story. Heh. I love this idea.
That's funny. :D Because it's probably been said hundreds of times. Here's one:

Carraka, this is your final warning.

[poetical science]

where's my magazine? baby mailed instead.

one that I saw on dA worthy of note:
you've been on my mind ...
quite frankly, you're heavy. Get off.

[Carraka]

Personal attack! Don't threaten me, Andrew!

And now I should try to

come up with real stories, instead

of cramming replies into six words.

[Shaun]

Resistance is futile, assimilated inside Procyon.

[Andy]

Okay:

We are not alike, you monster!

[Carraka]

Long toast. Thin applause. Cold dinner.

Bedtime. Still on computer. Parents angry.

(In other words, good night all.)

[Nyx]

Long toast. Thin applause. Cold dinner.

Bedtime. Still on computer. Parents angry.

(In other words, good night all.)

Hehe I love the second one:D

[Nyx]

Here's another one:

Thin body, shallow mind: modern success.

[Andy]

That's a good one.

[Rafael Domination]

What the hell is going on? :D

(Yeah, thats a story...)

[Eve]

Haha, bravo, bravo!

Here's one:

School test. Fails. Comes home. Dies.

[Rafael Domination]

*You have no idea how sad that made me*

[Nyx]

Haha, bravo, bravo!

Here's one:

School test. Fails. Comes home. Dies.

It's like reading my life story....

[Eve]

It's like reading my life story....

Haha, that's my life story too.

[Rafael Domination]

Oh please - I've done much worse...:D

[Eve]

No you have not. I have. :D

[Rafael Domination]

Praytell...what kind of screw up?

[Eve]

No prayer, no telling, no screwup.

[Rafael Domination]

I don't understand what you're saying...

[Eve]

No understanding, no asking, no telling.

[Rafael Domination]

You use two words too often ;)

[Zombified]

Day twenty. Zombies are still alive...

[Alex]

Eeeeeck! Splat! Snap! Shoulda double checked >.<

[Quietus]

Crap! I stepped on a spider...

[Zombified]

Day Twenty One, they're all dead.

[Quietus]

That was one really long day.
-or-
What happened to the darn zombies?

[Zombified]

Their bodies rotted. Nothing lives forever.

:D

[Binkatong]

Thinking of good six word story...

Explosion, screams, gasps, and then silence.

[Nanyoky]

((Hmmm...That's harder then it looks!))

[ABrainDivided]

If you run you can't hide

[Midnight_Moon]

[ABrainDivided]

I didn't shoot becuase of this.

[Andy]

And then, it all became clear.

[ABrainDivided]

You'd better believe that I'll hurt you.

[Midnight_Moon]

[blue phoenix]

Head in a bucket and...

I would stick my head in
A bucket and SQUANK:D

[Zombified]

[Mercy]

After death, will the world stop?

[sera_bookworm]

[Midnight_Moon]

The outside, why am I here?

[seikoXchan]

Only the music can heal me.

[Midnight_Moon]

I'm waiting, just waiting for something

[Zombified]

Now I'm livin' like a refugee.

[seikoXchan]

This is how the beat drops.

[Midnight_Moon]

Why her, why, I don't know.

[Zombified]

I'm so happy, I'm so happy!

[maz.]

[Phantom]

She was beautiful, even in death.

[Rafael Domination]

When will this end? Not ever.

[Nanyoky]

He told her he'd wait forever.
(Hmm... Yoky is in a fluffy mood...)

[Mercy]

Fingers loosened, and everyone fell down.

[Phantom]

Why me? Oh, God, why me?

[Mercy]

The clock hand ticked backwards, strangely.

[Phantom]

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

[Midnight_Moon]

I'm unsure of what to write.

[Mercy]

The demons whisper in my ears.

[Zombified]

The air is getting hotter today.

[Phantom]

"No, please, have mercy!" she screamed.

[mimitley]
