6 Word Stories.

While coming online yesterday i found a blog through Darren Rowse's blog, that in turn led me to a Wired Magazine article, here.

“We’ll be brief: Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”) and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves.”

It's kinda interesting, really, the one-liners (6 words are one liners) that the authors came up with. A few examples:

Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket.
- William Shatner

Computer, did we bring batteries? Computer?
- Eileen Gunn

God to Earth: “Cry more, noobs!”
- Marc Laidlaw

Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so.
- Joss Whedon

Automobile warranty expires. So does engine.
- Stan Lee

Machine. Unexpectedly, I’d invented a time
- Alan Moore (...notice how he wrote in a loop!)

Longed for him. Got him. Shit.
- Margaret Atwood

We kissed. She melted. Mop please!
- James Patrick Kelly

It’s behind you! Hurry before it
- Rockne S. O’Bannon

Batman Sues Batsignal: Demands Trademark Royalties.
- Cory Doctorow (founder of Boing Boing)


And, of course, my favourite:

Bush told the truth. Hell froze.
- William Gibson
