She trusted him. He betrayed her.

Cap

Her signature beside the pen. Divorced.

Life is better without that prick.

As is my occasional style, these stories are individual chapters in a longer story, but I hope they stand on their own at the same time.

Six on the Sixth Prompt – Jan 2016

It’s that time of the month again! No not that time!

It’s time for some six word stories! Currently there isn’t a huge following, but hopefully as time passes more and more writers around the world will be contributing to this little exercise in creativity.

This post will act as the prompt for tomorrow’s event. I say tomorrow because that’s when I’ll be posting my stories, but feel free to be flexible with the day on which you post yours.

The idea is to write anywhere from one to ten six word stories. I usually go with six of them, just to keep the six theme rolling.

I’ve decided to do away with the inlinkz linkup until we gain some more followers. We’re going to do it old school instead. Just post a link to your stories in the comments of mine (and any others that you read).

To be clear, as the stories are so short, it is NOT MANDATORY that you use the prompt words. Be inspired by as many or as few as you see fit. Most of all, have fun! That being said, the following random words are this month’s prompts:

Wrong

Cap

Splendid

Cantankerous

Torn

Unfurl

Six on the Sixth – November 2015

This month, I’ve randomly selected the words Badge, Right, Crinkle, Faulty, Turn, and Hip to be sacrificed upon the alter as an offering to the gods of times gone by. Join in on the fun of creating your own six word offers… or don’t if that’s your inclination. Either way is fine. Hit me with a link in the comments if you feel like taking part. My stories are below. Enjoy!

Birth of a Serial Killer (Badge)

His fake badge got him inside.

Mr. Personality (Right)

Always being correct left him friendless.

Gross (Crinkle)

Pickles: his nose crinkled in disgust.

Home Wrecker (Faulty)

Faulty wiring took everything from them.

The Only Child (Turn)

Sharing was never in his vocabulary.

He Won the Lottery (Hip)

They used to call him loser.
