A while back, I wrote a blog of six-word stories. It seemed to be enjoyable to many people, so I thought I would try another one.
If you’re not familiar with it, a six-word story is exactly as it sounds: It tells a complete story in only six words. This requires some very creative thinking. Many writers can describe a scene in several pages, using flowery descriptors and embellishments, but are you able to tell an emotional, significant story in just a few words? Some of mine have titles and some do not. I would like to hear from you. Can you come up with a good six-word story? Please post in the comments below or create a post of your own and link back to mine. I would love to read them.
Kitten found me; now I’m his.
Fear became my prison without walls.
Seed planted, no water, no growth.
Drove too fast; now I’m “slow.”
Built my walls, brick by brick.
“Moving On”
Sent his mom flowers–no more.
Smiled more; people liked me more.
“Seasons”
New growth, warmth, leaves fall, cold.

Oh, these would be fun to try. How about “Should write, procrastinate, no sleep tonight” or “Hungry, dinner won’t cook itself, fine.”

Imagine a whole story with 6 words. I think what you wrote was really clever.
