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*

She clung, even as he crumbled.

Her knife craved bright crimson vengeance.

(I posted 2... hope thats OK!)
I relly like this type of thing, though it really is harder than you would think initially, isn't it? lol

I was born,
lived,
than died.

I will always fight back, no matter what.
