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.

3)   2 Jul 2009 19:59

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.

Went on the Escapist, posted there.
Got on thread, found nice topic.
Posting six word stories, oh my!
This is really hard to do.

7)   2 Jul 2009 20:01

Opened window. Looked down. Fell out

He walked outside, but fled inside.

She watches him curiously. "How strange."
