The new, inadvertent six-word meme

Posted on October 27, 2006 | 7 comments |

As noted yesterday, Neil Gaiman and others were asked by Wired to compose six-word short stories. Now Marie has risen to the challenge with “Marie's hand clutched his sonic screwdriver”.

So how about a new meme? Anyone else want to rise to the challenge? A short story composed of six words. Away you go!

UPDATE: Here's mine: "The Earth moved... Archimedes' fulcrum found!" Yes, a rubbish maths/physics joke. Now you know why I gave up writing fiction...

    I'm sorry, Marie's just unbeatable.


    Although that is a 6 word remark....

    Put it in quotes. "I'm sorry, Marie's just unbeatable."

    Now that's a story in itself!

    Last breath. Expecting salvation. None came.
