You've doubtless heard of six word stories, those strangely addictive lines inspired by Hemingway's shortest story ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.). I've always been intrigued by the thought of condensing something so big into so small a phrase. Here are some I've written recently. I may have gone a little overboard, but I told you, they're addictive. Some describe me, some are more general. (Some of them are kind of depressing, but I'm not depressed; I swear.)

What's your six word story?

These are so awesome! I loved the first and the last ones. They described me a little bit :)
ReplyDeleteMy six word story would be:
Never fear change. Don't lose hope.
