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*

It still wasn't enough for him.
Can you remember the forgotten ones?
I am hiding under a rock.

It is quite fun.

There once was a cat.
He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?
Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show!
And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.

The ring fell from her hand.

His life was taken by darkness.

They felt alone unable to live.

This is fun...kind of hard though.

When the commonplace isn't commonplace- now

There once was a cat.
He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?

It came; it saw; it ate.

I wrote a six word story.

I went from twelve to fifty.

I was good; now I'm me.

I can't think of anything else.
