6 Word Stories

RoxanneR · 2006-12-10T19:00:42Z

When I went to a Creative Writing course the other day, my mentor told me that one of the ways she writes is to write 6 Word Stories. She said that she finds these harder that writing thousand-word novels, but one of the best she had ever found was: FOR SALE Baby Shoes Never Worn. Ohhh! It could mean that the baby died before s/he was able to wear the shoes. It could mean that the shoes were too big or too small, so the parents are putting them up for sale, to buy some new ones in the right size. See? 6 words can be made into a whole new stories. Have a go, post your own on here. (But I'm really bad at writing them, so I won't be posting any ;) ) RR*

Wow!

All of you are better that I ever would be!

I'm not going to ruin the topic by posting something that everyone will laugh at, and not half as good as everyone elses', but I do congratulate everyone who posted!

P.S. Nice name, Roxanne!

She saw it all, and died.

All she could do was run.
