Basically my creative writing teacher told us to write a short story.
As in six words long, give or take a word.

Some examples (not all are mine):

Wasted day. Wasted life. Dessert please.
Accident: no survivors, underwear ruined.
Found dream man. Woke up. Damn!
'Fragile' If only I'd known before.

Lets see what you can come up with...

Neat idea! I'll give it a whirl:

Woke up, hit head, woke up again.

Well look at that, no cake.

Gnome peddling turnips, prone to explode.

EDIT [New one]: Bugger, the bastard stole my shoes!

That's all I can think of.

This is really hard to do.

Fell off chair. Jerked awake. Adreneline.

I think you need at least ten, that seems to be a common theme amongst most bestsellers.
