Welcome to the six word game. Basically, the idea is to tell the most descriptive short story with 6 words or less. This is inspired by Hemingway, who once wrote this little gem, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
It's very short and to the point, but it is definitely a story. What's your best attempt at telling a story in 6 words or less? What's your best attempt at flash fiction?
A few quick attempts:
"Damnit, I ran out of bullets."
Army came, city no longer thrives.
Dad never got a fair trial. |  |  | | 12-06-2008, 09:53 PM | #2 (permalink) | | human scrabble board <33 Join Date: Nov 04, 2008 Posts: 106 |

The weather changed thrice, hitherto unwell. Quote: Originally Posted by Sam  (( Would words like they're count as one or two words)) | Depends on context. If the meaning demands it as one word, such as in dialogue, I say it's one word. If you're just trying to cram more words into the story so it will fit in the limit, then no. And remember it's a six word story. Not just some random six words that state something.  | | | | | 12-10-2008, 10:54 PM | #5 (permalink) | | Retired Staff Retired Staff Join Date: Nov 16, 2008 Posts: 50 |
