 Gilded CoinsTopic: Six-word storiesWe'll be brief: Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves. @ http://wired.com/wired/archive/14.11/sixwords.html Want to take up the challenge? Post or link your stories here. "Forums are not to be used to post stories." If asked, deny it's a story :-P Have fun. - Horror Writer Commits Suicide. Murders Cease. - Earth blows up. No one cares.

 NeoMiniTailsShe died; I'll never love again.

| Sakka-FenikkusuWriters' block. Now a dead writer. Four insane men talk over coffee. The sweater fits. I hate it. The ferret dies on a Tuesday.

| Will SachiksyI live for dreams no longer. "Honey, put the new plane down!" They watched it bleed to black. He departated, now unafraid of salvation.
|

| NeoMiniTailsWith tears of joy, she cried. She was thought 'winner', but wrong.
|

The FerrettI die? Have really bad day. ------ (See Saka)

Dice DarwinDrive. Sleep. Crash. Injury. Hospital. Morgue.

NeoMiniTailsNightly she cried; tonight, she's happy.
|

 YJanZ-ProvidenceAngels, they wait; beyond the grave.There is cheese; the mice rejoice. Writer too perfect; need more typo. Too much manga. Too much fanservice.

| Will Sachiksy"Trust me. He ate them raw." He wished for peace. Everyone died. She screamed. He smiled. Nobody heard. If I'm lying, may God strike They rarely killed for pleasure anymore.
|
|||
Will SachiksyI've been inspired by this contest. Now I'm working on writing fifty six-word stories and collecting them in one document. Look for it later tonight or tomorrow.
|
|||
Sakka-FenikkusuThat's awesome! I totally will.
|
|||
Will SachiksyJust posted it, but the link seems to be broken right now. I'll check it tomorrow to see if it works. It should be in the Horror section, titled "Watch Them Flicker." Thanks in advance to anyone that will read this.

Sakka-FenikkusuR&Red them. Nice job.
|
|||
| Will SachiksyNew stories: Strangler? On, right! He's here. Meatloaf? I apologize. This may hurt just-
|
|||
| Kumquat21Strangler? On, right! He's here. Meatloaf? That's good. XD The bird forgot the opaque window. Fire. You. Our hands never reach. Faceless, famous, friendless, falling, for-never. A dancers dream, a crippling accident. And I don't think this counts, but it's an idea I like . . . She (bride of twenty-three years, careworn, forgotton) Told (Screamed, dropped her dishes she washed) Him (coming home from more dirty escipades) "I (Dreams and flight, forgone for this?) Hate (Loath, cannot discribe, cannot live like -) You." (Yet she was not young again.) This is fun! ^___^
|
|||
| Will SachiksyInteresting variation. I may have to try it later. Please, don't leave. Mommy gets mad.
|
|||
Sakka-FenikkusuIf I were alive, I'd tell.
|
|||
Will Sachiksy"You ate my planet!" "Temporary inconvenience."
|
|||
| Keba Si RotaHmm. Cool idea. I'll try it. I feel so very important, today. He loves her. Or does he? My dog sits on the rug. Dust. Vaccuum cleaner. No more dust. Not very creative, but I tried!
|
|||
| Will SachiksyUnaltered humans denied health care claims. I hate blood! Never washes out. Red meat doen't kill. Green does.
|
|||
Keba Si RotaHey! Where the heck is everyone?
|
|||
Will SachiksyCute dog, mister. Where's his head?
|
|||
Will SachiksyPainful? Never. We paralyze our victims.
|
|||
Keba Si RotaHas anyone seen my giant squid?
|
|||
| Will SachiksyYou eat dead autotrophic matter? Eww. Surreal: losing arguments with a shoe. Unreal: provoked shoe injures emo guitarist. Too real: shoe obsession among females. Light particle condensation: walking on sunshine. Solution to Global Warming: Nuclear Winter.

 Oceans of MercuryWell, good thing it was non-toxic.Felt the bullet. Silent the shot. Lets fly, just mind the gravity. Not deaf, I just don't listen. Warm and bright when burning alive. Cold and dark when buried alive. Burn those bridges to stay warm.

| Darkening MistBroken window; broken heart; broken neck. But surely you noticed the dragon?
|
|||
| Dr. Vox FictionPress forums spawn interesting writing ideas. These are harder than I expected. The above was clever; this too.
|
|||
| Will Sachiksy This means everything, Dad. I promised. Look, mister. Dreams. You buyin' today? around. Because we're sixteen. We're allways --shortest fanfiction ever I'm out tomorrow. Funeral. Family business. Take care, man. We're professionals here.

| Thunderboom I have a crazy l33t sister. -Jonathan ph34r my m4d l33t skillz, m0rt4l5! -Melissa
|

 Ocean of Wickedness-I was chosen. They were not. -She surfaced; her world was gone. Eh. I'm not especially good at this, am I? xD
|
|||
| Will Sachiksy You've just got to get the right balance of the vague and the specific with these. Give the reader at least one good image with the six words, then let him form the story in his mind. These stories get easier to do with practice. "Hungry? Got some legs leftover." "Whose?" Portrait? Foolish girl. It's pressed glass. Our kitten snuggled the baby's throat.
