Okay girls! I have a challenge for you. I think it would be fun. I challenge all these people! Joely, Beth, Tanya, Jane, and Lynn! Come up with a story that is no more than six words.
I got this from Neil Gaiman's blog where an editor at Wired Magazinechallenged writers to come up with a story in six words. Hemingway once did this and said it was his best work. You can read the post and see some examples here
Here is my favorite that is in Wired.
Dorothy: "Fuck it, I'll stay here."

Here is my contribution to the fun:
Beautiful Black Caskets for sale: Used.
or
Mudpuddle. Stepped in it. Dirty
So come on girls, lets see your six word stories.

P.S. That is whenever Blogger quits doing whatever it is doing at the moment that makes it impossible to leave a comment on someone's blog. Argh. Cut that Beta stuff out would you?

"I came, I saw, I conquored."
Plagiarism at it's best. :-)
Ok, I will play. ;)
"Bored and lonely, Death created War."
"On the eighth day, God rebooted."
"Pandora opened the box. Bad girl."
"Birth. Life. Death. Rinse and Repeat."
A slight variation of one of the above:
"On the last day, God rebooted."
"Ctrl. Alt. Delete. God sighed. Next!"
Hmm. This is fun. (g)
"Bridge. Jump. Widow, haunted no more."
"Peace went up for auction. Nobody bid."
"For want of imagination, bombs fell."
You know...I just really really liked this game. I think writing should be a game, and fun. I want it to bring joy. That was my aim in this pithy game. To bring a smile to all our faces.
Beth, my favorite of yours is...
"Peace went up for auction. Nobody bid."
I had alot of fun with these. Thanks for bringing the challenge. :)
BTW, that was my favorite, too.
I'm game!
"In the end, nothing really matters."
"Time passed, and with it my life."
"I'm done with things that hurt."
I could do this all day!
Gutterball! How the hell are you? So good to see you! Oh, I love yours too! This was a lot of fun. I had a good time playing too!
Janie: Happy All Hallow's Eve to you too! Looks like you guys are ready! Love the pics on your blog!
Tanya: I hope that things are treating you better. Sounds like you are busy, busy, busy! But glad you decided to play! LOL
