View Full Version : Six Word Stories
Ehdom 05-12-2008, 03:54 PM Sorry if there is a similar thread, though i did some searching and didn't find one.
I love exercises that force you to be creative through your limitations. One of my favorite is the "Six Word Story."
Rules are pretty self explanatory. Create a story using only 6 words.
*****
No memory. New day. Here goes.
Lights gone now. Too quiet—Run.
Big mistake: Eternal life. Bad wish.
Went exploring. Got lost; found everything.
The last word ever written—"Soon."
Alone. Out of ink: history lost.
Finally; a sense of impending levitation.
Only a chance meeting. Changed everything.
Diamond ring for sale; never used.
Honey, was that door there before?
There, entirely sealed from the inside.
There they'd lay; a modern Pompeii.
Nothing could separate us. Except that.
"The thing is... we're not 'here'"
