Life thrives in six word stories.

So I stumbled upon an old list I had made of my favorite six word stories, and when I remembered that we wrote our own for class, I figured I could put them up for my proud 7 followers to see:

1. For sale: Baby shoes, never used.
2. Dinosaurs return. Want their oil back.
3. Blind man can see past disability.
4. Question asked. Negative reply. Ring returned.
5. Narcissist falls for clone. True love.
6. Things rolled: My r's, her eyes.
7. War over. Back home. Nightmares begin.
8. He read his obituary with confusion.
9. Corpse parts missing. Doctor buys yacht.
10. The baby's blood type? Human, mostly.
11. Emily's letters from Iraq stopped coming.

These are just a few really good ones that I found. I like them because their emotions are all different. Six words can tell so much more than one may think they can, and I guess that's the beauty of language. So much can be said in so little, and only a few words can stick with someone forever. Some of these I read my freshman year in high school, and still never forgot them. It's about the impact that they make, whether it be humorous or serious. It's said that Hemmingway considered his six word story (#1) to be his greatest work. I can believe it.
