Narnia reference! *claps*

*cough* I mean, nice ones, Elizabeth.

His heart echoed through the forest.

She did not feel the pain.

A life traded for a life.

The final heart beat at last.

He fell from a great height.

Her cries shall remain unanswered forever.

Her eyes; the last, fleeting hope.

Sui, it is always - always! - a good exercise to try and condense your stories into smaller and smaller formats. That's how loglines are written. So condensing your drabble into 6 words, even if you like the longer version better, is a very good thing to try.

I'm glad ya'll like my Narnia reference
Here's another 6 worder:

Piano's nice, but like violin best.

'Twas a dark and stormy night. { couldn't resist!}

I'm going to Grandmother's house today!

The clock was just striking thirteen.

The law: life for a life.

I love this one, Elly.


*laughs* Bravo for thinking of that one!

Here's some I thought up a few days ago (the last two don't really go with the rest):

The silence before them was deafening.

Brass trumpets sounded. The war began.

Two enemies fought savagely for victory.

The battlefield was a devastating sight.

"It's all your fault!" He accused.

His words cut like a knife.

You're really good at this, sis. I especially like:

This one is good by itself, since the silence could be caused by almost anything.

I like that one.

What are these "loglines"?

Here's one inspired by Evenstar-



Duel with a squirrel-- I lost.

Loglines are a single line that describes your entire plot. Methinks... Could me more detailed than that.

*laughs* That's funny, Sui.

The magic pen sketched a life.

The dream was far too real.

The beautiful rainbow became a highway.

There's definitely a book in that.

Feel free to write it.

Reminds me of a short story called the Circular Ruins, where a man dreamed another man and gave him life, and sent him away, and then realized that he too was being dreamed.

eru

Thanks, Bush.



Thanks, Jonathan! I liked that one. I've heard it somewhere before, but I don't know where.

He lived life until his death.

Why has't I not read this story yet?

*PM's Eru*

@DairyMaid I'd suggest changing "live" to "lived".

Oh, woops! That was supposed to have a 'd' on the end. *corrects post*

I thought so.

Here are some six word animal stories:

The wingless bird bore the message.

The adopted dog won the war.

The snake’s bite saved his life.

This is a great premise for a story.

It could go in a lot of different directions.

Wow. I agree. Those have "STORY!" written all over them, especially the last one.

Now I want to design a breed of snakes whose venom can heal diseases instead of inflict them... a premise for Erde, perhaps?

Sounds awesome.

Thank you, Philadelphia.


Agreed.

Inspired by Indy's avatar:

The key unlocked the secret crypt.

Nice.

I went, I learned... never again.

And with that; fat purple butterflies! (ok... maybe that isn't a good one?)

He won happiness? Nay; but death.

We have killed who saved us.

That's a good one, though very sad, depending on how it's interpreted.

It is based off of something that actually happened!

Is it based off of Jesus?

Yep. The ultimate story!

The greatest story ever told. And it's true!

This time we will not survive.

I come back, unchained. (that was four?)

I come back to you, unchained. (6 word version!)

Once upon a... the book ends!

Death holds no power on me.

They got in; Hope is gone.

I'm flying! Oh wait! Woops! *thud*

The man fell into the abyss (that one was for you Jay)

Thus peace was restored to earth.

Everyone died; but not the antagonist.

He regained the knife! We're doomed...

You're good at these, Svensteel.


I like that one.

However, shouldn't it be:

Well thank 'ye!


Ach...punctuation continues to be annoying! Sometimes it seems that words try to do the best they can to mess you up!

I'm not sure about that grammatical error, Nathan. It's a sentence all on its own, so I think a period would be best....then again, I'm not a comma nazi.

The song gave life, ending death.

Kind words can break prideful bones.

Do not underestimate the weak's strength.

It was a worthless sacrifice. (Are they allowed to be five?)

Doomed to die as her parents.

I am protected by being inslaved.


They say pictures speak a thousand words? Well 6 words can say quite a lot of words too!

I love this one.

Typically they are all supposed to be six words, Sven.

The flames held power over him.

That one for my drabble.

I could have guessed it was.

Thou art far too clever.

She gave her life, yet lived.

The tombstone refreshed memories of history.

The cross was all he carried.

You could probably spend the rest of your life just writing books with that premise.

Some really nice stories here, folks.

Jonathan is right on the comma, Bethy.

True! The possibilities be endless for some Hemingways...

Lo! I it was a worthless sacrifice (I added lo! See! )

Stuck forever; that day happened again.

Slow deaths, by angry forked tongues.

Her heart...a blessing and curse. (In the literal sense that would make an awesome Sci-Fi story...in the emotional sense..it could work either way. )

The wrong actions for right reasons.

She thought she was doing good.

Villains may do their own good.

Thus both sides may seem correct.

But there is only one good.
