It’s that time again. You know what time I’m talking about right? Time for some six word stories of course. This is the first time I have a title that’s nearly 3 times as long as the story itself. That was obviously done on purpose.
Terminal
Three months later, the infection won
Rain of Terror
Countless arrows blotted out the sun.
His Indiscretions
Dignity intact, she packed her things.
The Phoenix
Out of the wreckage, he rose.
The life and times of Ernesto Solomon, the gardener, and his little dog William P. Hefferdink
Both digging in dirt, they’re happy.
The Endless War
Ninety years raging, the battle continues.
Time for you guys and gals to have a go and show me what you’ve got. Give me your best (and your worst if you so desire) six word stories.

I almost forgot about this! I want to join in on your six word fun. Expect a post from me later today!
I like “The life and times of Ernesto Solomon, the gardener, and his little dog William P. Hefferdink” the best. The names are fantastic, and it’s such a cute little story!

I look forward to reading your offering. Ernesto and William seem to be the favorite of the day. It’s my favorite as well so that makes me happy.

I love the six word story.

Thanks for reading.

You have a talent for this! Good stuff, all of them — especially the gardener and his formally named dog.

I’m not sure I’d say I have a talent for it. You should see how many I wrote that didn’t make the cut haha, but thanks anyway!

I have 6 word story anxiety.
My fave – of course- is the one with the longest title. 🙂

Why do you have anxiety? Nothing to be anxious about!

I’m sure it’s all in my head. But – whenever I do something for the 1st time – I get really nervous about how it will end up or turn out. Kind of like stage fright. Only – I don’t know what that would be like either because I don’t do drama. LOL

I know the feeling, even when it isn’t the first time. For me though it stems from being absurdly shy. As for six word stories… It takes me about twenty (give or take) to get six good enough to post, but that’s alright because it doesn’t take long to write twenty six worders. You really should give it a shot. You don’t have to share the results if you don’t like them.

[…] A while back, I posted Six Words, which was a collection of six word stories. The prompt came from Adam Ickes, who has since begun the habit of posting six word stories on the sixth of each month. You can check out his stories here. […]

My thoughts for six-word stories:
Pot of gold found. Rainbow deactivated.
Soul torrent promised clean downloads. Liars.
Vegetable uprising. Time travel. Primordial soup.
Future ghosts whisper that I mustn’t.

My favorite of the bunch would certainly be the final one. Well done on all of them though. Can I look forward to more excessively short tales from you next month?

I will calendar it in. Most of mine right now are scifi, prompted by a thread at i09.com. I posted a few on my blog yesterday, some of them set in Oz.
