Six-Word Stories

I was just reading "Very Short Stories" (pg. 212), in the November 2006 issue of Wired Magazine. They had 33 writers write six-word stories in the tradition of Hemingway, who once wrote: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." This inspired me to write some of my own...

This is my six-word story.

God created humor, then created life.

Accidental reincarnation. Newborn cries, "Not again!"

Halloween Mercenary: Will kill for chocolate.

Energy crisis averted; flatulence power invented.

The contented monkeys laughed, "You're evolved?"

Rule #5: No heaven without hell.

Buddha gives up, checks into rehab.

Quantum computer computes one over zero.

World's greatest minds find solution: devolve.

Loving husband's dying words: "Buy it."

When TiVo died, people stopped watching.

(Laughing maniacally) "Excellent! They love iPods."

Jesus returns. Says, "What the fuck?"

Study: unrequited love drives greatest minds.

Temporal mechanic successful; Big Bang undone.

Superhero loses insurance coverage. Villains triumph.

Can't see. Must escape. Will drown.

Dracula, defeated by insomnia, sees sun.

Knuckle hair leads to evolutionary miracle.

Fashion 2093: ties become neck thongs.

CAUTION! Road to hell being paved.
