Szelsofa has recently been trying her hand at making up short stories with only six words in them. Now, you could argue that a six word short story isn't a short story at all, but merely a sentence and to be honest, you wouldn't get much arguement from me. Ok, I'm sceptical, but is it possible to write something that short and convey a sense of narrative? I thought I'd have a shot myself.
I wait, lost. Not long now.
I understand. You don't need me.
Leaving here, missed the train. Fuck!
Bad sex? sure. Still miss you.
Feverish lust, darkened room, click click.
Burnt oil and engines roar. Ashfield Sundays.....
Damn! That's harder than I thought. I'd say only two of those are any good. I've tried one hundred word stories before, and yes, they're a pig to write as well.
I think I'll leave these little Zen numbers to the others.....
