6 word stories.
 

I just read http://blog.wired.com/sixwords and I thought it was a pretty fun thing to try out, so here is the challange. Write a six (6) word story about something meaningful, important, sad, excting going on in your life.

Here are a few examples from the article:

Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket.
- William Shatner

Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so.
- Joss Whedon

It’s behind you! Hurry before it
- Rockne S. O’Bannon

Kirby had never eaten toes before.
- Kevin Smith

These are more literary works, but what I want is something a bit more personal. 6 words is just enough to get the point across, but not divulge too much.

I'll go first.

"Goodbye" she said, tears barely ran.

Let's hear yours!

Couldn't let go if we tried.

stay the course? cut and run?

"Hello? Don't ever call here again."

I eat food recovered from autopsies.

:eek:

Another:

Work; Boring, paid well to surf.

:thumbsup:

1) A man lived. Then he died.

2) Giant Hamburger's entry really scares me.

This is not what I wanted.

Deciduous apes lope in silky smallclothes.

Giant Hamburger cheated. That lousy bum.

;)

Why are Madlibs suddenly in vogue?

Boobs make me forget to work

Smallclothes is a singularly exciting word!

the hell with autopsy leftovers...

I'm eating Giant Hamburger for dinner

Wet skys, green eyes, replaced quickly.

Greatest evil in history is man.

Turn-coats will always turn again. (hyphonated words count as 1 or 2?)

Dust bunnies slyly assimilate crank cases.

Spam. Once food, now unwelcome advertising.

Greatest good in history is man.

Lonely, where have nice girls gone?

Nature purrs, technology zimms, I breathe.

"what the hell is going on?"

Everything always ended up just fine

Perfect dreams gave way to reality.

That one way love triangle hurt.

I saw, I came, I left..

The condom broke, I need work.

Slithering rain mingled in my eyes.

Always loved Haiku. This twists it.

Fast bike, slippery road, never again.

Fell asleep on the journey home.

Jack Bauer power hour.

Tampa, Florida. Short drive. Long weekend.

Oddly,Giant Hamburger wears no smallclothes.

Hungry emu ate shoes, cold feet.

Walking eight miles, drunk and frozen.

Move to Nonsense or Literature? Answer?

VP of Sales. Leaving. We're toast.

I was debating putting it in either one of those, but I kinda wanted it to be less nonsence, and more of a personal exercize. It's hard to convey the things in your life with any amount of words, but for some reason, only getting to use 6 really simpilifys things. Problems don't seem so huge, pain, not as bad. Just look at the one from hemmingway, it follows the rule, and it also puts you in the "know" and you feel bad for the person. If people want it moved to nonsense, I say let it be moved, but there is a still a lot of insight to be gathered into the lives of people if we read between the lines of the 6 words they write.



Romance is fleeting, Warcraft lasted longer.

Damn. Crack sure talks a lot!

:D

I was once a small child.

Not who I used to be.

Sex. The lifeblood of all men.
