Six-word stories

[Vanaladiel]

I love life! But it's short!

Love at first sight! It's Dazzles!

Sparkling cider tickles the nose happily!

Fleece blankets snuggle the body closely!

[Lysanor]

Life;Get up, work, go to sleep.

I repeat the boring process daily.

A little difference might be nice.

Today I shall meet a superhero.

Jesus; died, lived all for us.

My imagination is not the greatest

[Lebasi]

Bound pages hold the key

I bring my fear close. Preparation.

A bird in a gilded cage.

Reality or dreams.Which is true?

A desire for more. Gripping. Driving.

Should past or future govern life?

Escape from life. What is it?


OK, some of those don't make much sense, but you can't really make a narrative in six words. I know what they mean. After a fashion.

[Hiril Elfwraith]

Senseless drivel: there's no other way.

Alas, my mind has fizzled out.

Writer's block is epitome of evil.

Hail from the Realm of Shadows.

Nope, no idea what I'm saying.

Oh look, a duck. Fancy that.

Okay, where did that come from?

Exclamation point, question mark, exclamation point.

I float off into the dream-world.

Six-word limit: no freedom of speech.

My life: bed, LOTR, doodles, computer.

Lord of the Rings is awesome.

But then, we already knew that.

Hey, this is pretty fun, really.

Always six words: just count 'em.

And now I conclude this post.

[GwenElf]

Heehehehe, these are fun! Let's see...


Wanted: Gun. No bullets are necessary.

Strange--four men approaching on horseback.

Don't forget which drink contains the--

The chains were just loose enough.

Attn: Judgment Day is scheduled for--

[Entmooting]

Gun for sale. One careless owner.....

[GwenElf]

Hehehee.

I feel like Hemingway definitely had something with the "for sale" theme; the ideas contained just within those two words add a whole dimension to the story. Same with "wanted" or "for rent" or anything 'classifieds'esque. E.g:

For sale: new coffin, never used.
or
For sale: coffin, only used twice.

[Lebasi]

For sale: coffin, only used twice.

I like that one


For sale: coffin. Special clearance offer.

Free ashes. But of what kind?

Death or life. Which holds hope?

Who chooses the path in life?

[Saruman_of_the_Istari]

For sale: White rabbit. Quite harmless.

For sale: Raven. Still is sitting.

For sale: Horse. Put before cart.

[Quimrill_Renctar]

Heh, since I saw this I just have to add a few of my favorites.

You hear something? Nah, its nothing-

They wouldn't mine this way, private-

Late at night, my muse dances!

[Frelga]

Quill's unfinished stories tell the tale.

Ygraine's sad story is good. Welcome!

Have to work. Want to write.

[Brandiewine]

Endless pounding surf tosses flotsam ashore.

[Vanaladiel]

Leaves dance as the wind sings!

[earendil81]

Who said life is ever fair?

Who cares? It's only a job.

Your job should never define you.




As you can see, job is a major issue right now

[drieske]

Then she turned the last page.

[rwhen]

Take it all, or someone will.

Drive fast when old? Die soon.

Lights out, no one home now.

[drieske]

Dreams shattered when the dog howled.

[GwenElf]

And then the thread was revived!

[drieske]

Christmas, shine bright. We need you!

[Ladykat]

Alien invaiders already here. Called cats.

LK

a poor attempt, I'll try harder next time

[drieske]

Good one, Ladykat, cats will always feel which is right. Their instincts are amazing.

My six-word story of today, triggered by the many beggars in Dublin last week:

Hand uplifted. Pride destroyed by poverty.

[Ladykat]

Hand uplifted. Pride destroyed by poverty.

Now THAT'S a six word story! I bow to the master.

LK

[drieske]

Don't bow, hehehe. *sits down with Ladykat* Make another six-word story!

It rained so hard, fish drowned.

[Ladykat]

OK, how about this one?

Job outsourced. Twenty years, now nothing.

LK

[drieske]

That is a good, yet sad story. I'm so sorry, Ladykat! *hugs* Twenty years is a long time. Hopefully you find something else soon.

[Ladykat]

OOPS!!

I'm sorry drieske, I didn't mean to mislead you. That was about some friends of mine, a couple I know. She lost her job early last year, and he only works part time.

Thanks for the hug, though! I'll make sure I pass it along to my friends.

LK

[erinhue]

I'll give it a shot

He waited for her, in vain.

[drieske]

LK, I do hope your friends are on the right side of the work tracks soon!

And Erinhue, so much feeling in just six words. I do hope she will show up.

Now let me try a happy story:

No shadow withstands pearls of laughter.

[rwhen]

Danced with wolves, lost two socks. <<<<<-------------- Get it? LOL...sorry but I cracked myself up!!
