Six Word Short Stories



Summary: Write a complete story using only six words.

How to enter: Please post your entry in this topic. You may only enter one story, but you may change your entry as many times as you want before the 24 hour window closes.

Description: Six word shorts stories are exactly as they sound. You may punctuate the story however you need to in order to get the point across, but the story must have exactly six words. Here are some examples from the internet:
Bang postponed. Not Big enough. Reboot. - David Brin
Painfully, he changed "is" to "was". - Icantusemyimgurname
BREAKING: Simulated beings realize they're simulated. - The_Psuedonymouse
Sorry soldier, shoes sold in pairs. - Independent
You may write about whatever you want, but please do not include profanity or mature and violent themes. I want to feel something when I read your story.

And this goes without saying, but don't plagiarize. If I find your entry somewhere else on the internet, you will be disqualified.

That's all! Please direct all questions and discussion to our discussion page and post your entries here. :D
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

I want to beta read your novel!

What? My math is right? How?


If this doesn't count as plagiarism then I'd like to use this instead of the first 6 word story.

"Luke, I am your father."
"Nooooo."
