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.
