Six Word Stories Part 2




When I was on the Access course two years ago, we had to write Six Word Stories.  This flash fiction trend is obviously associated with Ernest Hemmingway, who was asked to write the aforementioned tasked that could sum up a whole story.  He allegedly wrote the following: For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.  A backstory of poignance, nes pa?

I recently found this page --------> http://www.sixwordstories.net/ which I thought was brilliant

My contribution? Several really....

1) Boredom - we called it a day.

2) Teenage girl, one day late - worried.

3) Unconditional/unrequited. Two very different words.


Anyone else with a Six Word Story - please submit in comments box below :-)

Hot day, bought dress. . Oh YUCK!

Milk heating, phone rings. Erm. Mess.

This is a fun exercise... harder than drabbles. Loved the examples!!!

The examples on the Six Word Stories website were incredible. My favourite was '"Crocodiles- bad pet choice," said Lefty.'
