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 Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
