Write a Six Word Short Story

Post Reply New Topic

I just read an old wired article with 6 word short stories, and so I figured this would make a good thread. The story must contain exactly 6 words. However it may contain multiple sentences numbers must be written out as words. Below are 2 examples that I was able to come up with. The original article can be found <HERE>.

Ex. 1: Six word stories, write one today.
Ex. 2: Robots attack; people are simply shocked.

One day, I was really bored

I hope there's something else coming

Bad people got shot by goodies

Today, I went on a trampoline

Circle of life, wheel of fortune

Six words really is not enough

Once upon a time, God farted.

He was eaten by a shark.

He cut the wrong detonator wire.

He said, "you won't shoot me."

He thought, "what does 'peligroso' mean?"

She thought, "Jeff Dahmer seems nice."

He thought, "ah, fugu is tasty."

wormsto reads thread on wrong planet.

bad people are bad, get shot.

man and woman fall in love.

There once was an ugly barnacle (XD I just had to, it couldnt be helped >_>)


now as for actual 6 word stories....


One day jesus died, nobody cried.

Life, very much a complete paradox.

Someone truly missed the point of it.

pointblank writes without reading whole thread

'A man, a plan, a canal, Panama' -


also works as a Palindrome...

my favorite short story has only 2 words-

[chapter one] "coughin.'
[chapter two] "coffin."

my favorite haiku [3-word triplet form] is-

olestra and pampers
proctor and gamble
not a coincidence

other than these, in strict observance of the OP's request, here are-

caught robbing bank, sentenced and jailed.
saw prosty, caught aids and suffered.
was born, occupied space, died bored.
defective spacesuit, died on the moon.
ate badly, black stools, died suffering.
voted repub, got disenfranchised, just desserts.
we have the government we deserve.
man smokes, got cancer, died suffocating.
aspergers discovered, came to terms, equanimity.

Death marches on, as does life.

Adultery caused heartache and ultimately, murder.

But what if she hates balloons?

lttle white balloons popped, more kids.

Mountain road, fast car.
Dark night...

He loved her, but she died.

Their balloon drifted over the desert.

Suburban family, secret life, found out!

Gotta add this one:

Meteor crashes into Earth! The End.
