Six Words

Well, so Travis had this and then I saw it over at Turn's and with a sentence of encouragement here we go... copied from Travis:



The meme is all about very short stories. We're talking stories of only six words. Here's the meme's instructions, as copied from Turn's blog:

A writer's meme.

Ernest Hemingway said the best thing he ever wrote was a six-word story. It is this:

For sale--
Baby shoes.
Never used.

My challenge to you, Dear Readers and Writers, is to come up with your own six-word story. That's all. Six words. How hard could that be? It'll only take a minute.

How hard could it be? Well, it's easy enough to put six words together. But do they actually tell a story? A story generally has a beginning, middle, and end...with characters and plot and conflict and climax.

Look at the Hemingway piece above. On the surface, just a very simple premise. But underneath? So many questions. Of course...it's Hemingway!

Now this is where I take a stab at it:

She breathes
death rattle
she leaves.


He breathes
that fragrance
she enters.

Magnolia buds
frost looms
ugly tree.

So I may toss one of these up here every so often because..well....just because I enjoy using my brain and picking interesting words.

Happy Tuesday, Y'all!

Hugs, Happiness and Harmony,
