Writing Challenge: Write a six-word story

‘History will remember me’ - Author unknown.

Sounds like Herostratus, the vandal whose name deserves to have been forgotten. This despicable individual burned down the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the seven ancient Wonders of the world, simply to achieve fame through notoriety.

Please forget that you now know his name. ;)

And now for the headline:

EXTRA! EXTRA! MAN BURNS TEMPLE SAVED!

... and a completely different headline, just by adding a comma ...

EXTRA! EXTRA! MAN BURNS, TEMPLE SAVED!

:)
