I enjoyed reading your contributions to last week's Six Word Stories*. Let's play again. I'll go first. Write whatever you like. I feel like rewriting children's books. If you like pithy reviews of children's books, check out Emily Reads and Book-A-Minute.
Charlotte's Web, by E. B. White:
Some pig! Some spider! No bacon.
Constance: A Story of Early Plymouth, by Patricia Clapp:
"I hate you!"
"Kiss me."
"Okay."
Sleeping Beauty, retold by Trina Schart Hyman:
"What is a spindle? Owwwwwch." (Snore.)
*Six Word Story concept stolen from the pages of Fishsuit. I'm hoping to settle out of court.
Update: Six Word Stories is a meme. I don't have to pay Fishsuit anything. Here is Wired magazine's feature on six word stories by science-fiction authors: Very Short Stories. My favorites are by Neil Gaiman and Ursula K. LeGuin. Thanks to Bede for the link.
