Tell a Story in Six Words
Hemingway is credited with creating the "6-Word Story".
His famous example is -
"For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn."
William Faulkner said:
"A novelist is a failed short story writer.
And a short story writer is a failed poet."
"Beginning. Middle. And End. Conflict. Resolution."
"Humor. Drama. Pathos. In six words."
(those are each six words, mine. {6 words} )
Here's a few of my own: (it's not easy)
"Ciao"
You went too far too long.
... then ...
We were immortal ... ... you murdered us.
the Journey, and the End
I've reached Nirvana and attained Enlightenment.
Lovers
We were Immortal. For a while.
Evolution
Tragedy struck. I learned. Made millions.
the Quandary
Still in love? Yes! And No.
Headstone
All below was against my religion.
Spring
A lone mosquito. Summer's coming. Yay!
Disappointment
Wanted a car. Got rollerblades. Damn.
Busted
She winked. Flirted back. Husband scowled.
the Substitute
Wanted a goldfish. Shark for dinner.
Pondered
Walked forever. Got nowhere. Stopped. Shrugged.
Message in a Bottle
Went sailing. Capsized.
Swam ashore. Almost.
Bob
Went sailing. Capsized.
Swam ashore. Almost.

If you need to tell a really good story, drop me a line.
BSOT.
