Wired magazine puts together an impressive collection of short stories -- very short stories. All six words long. All science fiction. I sent this to some friends via email, but thought, why not share it here too?
Some samples and their authors:
Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket.
- William Shatner
Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so.
- Joss Whedon
Kirby had never eaten toes before.
- Kevin Smith
Bush told the truth. Hell froze.
- William Gibson
Tick tock tick tock tick tick.
- Neal Stephenson
Read the whole collection here. (And be sure to read the six-word Hemingway story mentioned in the article.)
