Six-Word Stories

Sharon Bakar wrote an interesting post about six-word stories a few months back and I meant to blog about it but never got around to it. That’s how lazy/busy/distracted I am: I never got around to writing six-word stories.

Actually, I did write a few. They’re on one of the computers at work and I’m too lazy/busy/distracted/[insert other excuse here] to get them. Just like I’m too lazy to link to any other sites and blog posts that feature interesting six-word stories (there are some, really).

So anyway, I can only remember one of the six-word stories I wrote, and here it is:

Marriage murdered. Cause of death: floccinaucinihilipilification.

If the pages were really, really small, that story would be a page-turner, eh?

I’ll try to think of more six-word stories. In the meantime, leave your own in the comments. Go on, don’t be shy.

  1. Three-word question: What is floccinaucinihilipilification?

    Six-word story: Eid party. Over-eating. Buy Eid clothes.

    I think it might be better in rojak lingo: Rumah terbuka. Over-eating. Beli baju raya.

    “Can Candace check Cherry’s cervical cancer?”

    My bad, that’s not a story.

    Here’s a correct one.

    Candace checks Cherry’s cervical cancer carefully.
