Six Word Stories

Six words bring the story nearer.

Nice and precise, six word spice.

 

He proposed with my sister's ring.

 

Ooh, drama! I like this one. Variation on the theme:

Finally, he proposed—on Jerry Springer.

 

The sword rose, then fell, bloodless.

 

Glad you like it! Although, to be honest, I was actually going for more of a thriller thing. (facepalming as of right now)

He proposed with my dead sister's ring.

Still very minimal, and maybe more what you were going for. What a fun little exercise!

 

It was certainly very evocative.

 

Click, sweat slick the phone fell.

 

What is truth, when everyone lies?

 

The world falls on a word.

 

What is that on the floor?

 

Look into my ear. See anything?

 

"Darling..." He whispered in her ear.

 

The cow flew to the moon.

 

The moon appeared, inside the ring.

 

The sign said do not run.


"I feel instant regret," she announced.


It is over and done with.

 

Under the bridge, eyes stared back.

 

The citizens rioted. They believed me.
