Very short stories

[lollardfish]

These 6-word stories, commissioned by Wired, are well worth reading. The exercise was inspired by Hemmingway's "story" - "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

My favorites:

- Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so. - Joss Whedon.
- Longed for him. Got him. Shit. - Margaret Atwood.
- Machine. Unexpectedly, I’d invented a time - Alan Moore.
