Six Word Storytime

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.

Six Word Story Round-Up

Here is a sample of the six word stories you contributed this week. Thank you, Fishsuit, for starting this whole circus of storytelling.

Six Little (or Big, or Medium) Words

I get it! The Round Robin is too much work. You want to be entertained, not to entertain me. Well, the pigeon has feelings too. I'm going to sulk in a corner and make faces at all the passers-by.

Really, though: if it works, it works. If it doesn't, I move on. Sometimes it takes awhile for things to catch on, and sometimes they never catch on at all.

Now, how about writing a six word story instead? Come on. Entertain me. Six little words. Six big words. A pleasant mixture of both little and big words. Follow Fishsuit's link for some examples, then add your own in my comments section. I shall reuse my own contribution just to kick-start the fun.

Where does this go? Uh-oh.
