I'm pretty sure you've all heard of a particular six-word story that is claimed to be written by the famous Ernest Hemingway. It goes a little like this:
"For Sale: Baby's shoes, never worn."
Six words, but it is a story in itself. It relies on the understanding of the reader for it to actually develop into a story, and while this particular example is simple to understand, it still calls for the reader to "get" the implications.
I was assigned to do something similar for an activity in one of my classes, which is pretty much the reason why I'm posting this right now. A lot of the six-word stories made by my classmates were very..."inspirational". It's a great way to find story ideas or plothole patch-ups should you need it.
That's why I invite you to post a six-word story of your own. Who knows, you might just be helping someone figure out the main conflict of their plot, or you could be inspired by your own six-word story to write half a chapter in one sitting. 8D
[tl;dr - Post your own six-word story! It could be about anything - all I ask is the precise length.]
So, uhh, yeah. XD
