Have to quote (apparently) Ernest Hemingway for this :

Neither "Novel" is six words long.

Well, I prefer to be economic in my prose and not get too flowery. Why tell a story in six words, when you can get away with less. I think I got away with it.

Because the thread is called "A Story in Six words" not "Two separate stories in less than six words each"

Micky Dolenz

Three sixes shown. Six six six.

I can't help it, if I'm prolific and talented enough to churn out two books, while everyone else is still struggling with one. This suddenly pulling rules out of thin air, wreaks of jealously to me, though there is a very slim chance that perchance I might be mistaken.

Perchance one is mistaken. Perchance one spends so much time on writing fantastic literary works, as you so claim yourself, (we'll ignore the old adage "self praise is no praise") that one has neglected their reading ability and has in fact, completely misread and misrepresented the title and sole rule of this thread, and ultimately, made themselves out to be a overwhelming D-bag.

Then again, there is a very slim chance that perchance I too, may be mistaken.

Jesus, no need to be so punctilious. No one would have noticed, had you not pointed it out. And by the way, that's not how you spell cant....It's spelled can't.

Heh? You think people can't count to six?

Well, if I can't count to six.....I would imagine I'm not alone in having that particular misfaculty.

And when I'm reading a story, I generally do not count the words. If I were a less talented writer I might. It must be awful for some people; hacking away at it with all their little hearts - then hitting the word count button, and it not coming to much. Not coming to much at all.

You could be less talented?!? Six words is a simple brief. Start your own thread. Call it 'dump stuff here' or something. Best of luck with it. Bye.
