    Swords rise, death feasts, peace returns.

    Have to quote (apparently) Ernest Hemingway for this :

    For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.

    The start.
    The middle.
    The end.

    He smiled; the perfect crime.

    It's a duology.

    There's two novels there.....Notice how they're on different lines.

    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"

    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.

    Thread derailed. Users squabble. Boobie boobs.

    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.

    She laughed.
    He caressed her neck.
    Her laughter ended.

    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.
