Writing Challenge: Write a six-word story

[Trish]

Child salutes. Even the sky cries.

 

[Rath Darkblade]

No man's an island. They're continents.

 

[Dee-123]

Older men are often in continents.

 

[Selluwud]

Older men are often in continents.

How often "Depends" on, how old?

How often "Depends" on, how old?

It's serious. Don't take the piss.

If our former mod Sellbin was still around, he'd say that none of these are stories. Just six word phrases. He'd point out that a story needs a beginning, a middle, and an end. Hence the challenge. I don't really care, but every time I open this thread, I hear his voice.

I'll try to do one with beginning-middle-end if you will.

OK, I'll try to do one too.

Nothing exploded. Now it's the universe.

 

[Dee-123]

Genesis-Revelation. The middle? That's us.

 

[Rath Darkblade]

T'End Is Near. 'Ave a cookie.

 

[Dee-123]

The cookie crumbled, the baker cried.

 

[Rath Darkblade]

Closing Cookie Case Costs Cat Chef.

(Sounds like tabloid headline ... if I was writing about an anthropomorphic cat, who is also a chef. Let's see ... Chef Catcat was taking an order one day from a ferret, who asked to see a carrot cake. While the chef's back was turned, Sneaky Ferret picked the lock on a case of cookies, stole the cookies, and got away.

Sergeant Bulldog is on the case).

 

[Dee-123]

You began with 6 words, and ended with six words. If you'd used 6 words in your synopsis, I would have started to worry about revelation again

 

[edamame]

Cat chef rates popular kibble brands.

 

[Selluwud]

Cat loses tail, renamed himself Bob.

(based on a true story about a cat I had as a kid, a door he opened slammed on his tail.....we started calling him Bob)

 

[Rath Darkblade]

Snoopy solves slavish spa secret, saves sprouts.

Tosca team totally trounce Tiger trainers.

Trim tiger tattle-tales, tree tells.

Lean, leonine, lordly lions legally lying.

Japanese jawing jaguars joke in January.

(All the latest details on these torrid, steamy, filthy scandals in "Alliteration Daily!" Out now!) ;-P

When darkness came, we ignored it.

 

[Louanne Learning]

Lost the farm, hello big city.

 

[Rath Darkblade]

Lose the city! Hello, Big Farm!

(Followed by "Stupid cockerel cries earlier every morning!" Grumble)
