Well guys, I'm working on the scores and comments as best as I can, but my schedule sucks ***. So, to pass the time and give you guys something to think about I decided we should have a another Nano WWYP!

For those that don't know, a Nano WWYP is a very, very short writing contest. You can write about anything. It can be humorous or tragic, insightful or whimsical. But it must be exactly six words. Yes, you heard me: six words.

If you want some examples of six word stories just to get the juices flowing, you can look here or here. And maybe here.

RULES:

1) Right as many six word stories as you like
2) Chose one, post in this thread and bold it

You can post as many as you like, but you can only enter one. We're probably not going to do typical judging this time as I'm all ready strained for writing comments, but they will be judged.

So with that, go! DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 25th

IF I CATCH YOU PLAGIARIZING YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT AND INFRACTED

Unfortunately, I have seen that joke before and must reiterate that I take plagiarism very seriously.

Don't do it again.

What? You mean someone's used it? I got it from that "p***s broke. Pregnant joke" on the link in the OP. I'm sorry if it's used. I'm going to google that.

Can I get a link? I can't find it on google. Sorry.

Thanks. I couldn't find it. I'm sorry. I really thought it was original since my 10th grade English teacher gave us something like it. The catch was it had to be twelve words, explain it's elements, metaphors, ect... I'm sorry.

Suggestion: Tell a STORY with your words, not an event or a plot. This prompt is based on a six word story that Ernest Hemmingway wrote, that went:

"For sale, baby shoes, never used."

You can very easily imagine the pain and anguish behind those six words. Strive for something like that.

As I finished, I regretted it.

Fire. I smiled. I was over.

Alternatively, I had wrote: As the fire raged, I smiled. Both work into a story about being relieved over something being destroyed. The one I bolded was a bit better to read, though.

"Prognosis negative; she has six weeks."

I like this one better. After discussing with EE, I went with "she has" instead of "you have" because the enormity of the scenario surrounding it.

Searching. Serving. Falling on my knees.

Dragged out the dead. Buried myself.

The exposition, rise, climax, fall , end.

Wiped the sweat from her brow...

I saw, I conquered, I came.

Beautiful funeral; We buried her alive.

edit: reposted my real one laterrrr

man, seriously, i dont know what more than half of the current submissions even mean. they don't make sense at all. they aren't stories.

im going to enter as well but i have to think of a six word story worthy of a week's thought. i just wanted to get that point out there because i know im not the only one feeling it. if your six words arent a story or straight up dont make sense then you should change them.

It's six words. There are only so many ways to make a completely coherent story with six words. Use your imagination.

edit to add in missing meanness: You're dumb.

This. Tom, I think you are being a bit overly critical for what should be a fun exercise. Instead of generalizing, go through each and comment.

My love, she just wouldn't die.
I liked this one because of that single comma. That makes it a direct address saying "My love," he addressed his spouse. "She just wouldn't die."

Jungle's story is really a good one too.
