I looked around and didn't see this done on here yet, I apologize if I missed it.
Hemmingway once said that his finest accomplishment was a six word story: "For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn." Here is an article in Wired about it.
Recently this challenge was given to more modern literary artists (see above link) And so I challenge each of you to create a six word story. No more or less than six words.
I offer you the following as my submission:
Slinky on Escher stairs, forever falling.
The organ is grinding but the monkey won't dance.
Sorry. I had my fingers crossed.
The organ is grinding but the monkey won't dance.
What did you say? Oh. OK.
Your real father is in Iowa.
Isn't supposed to be this way.
The organ is grinding but the monkey won't dance.
The pros and cons of breathing.
C'mon, where's that bright smile of yours that brings sunshine into the world without contributing to global warming?
The nukes fall, death has won.
