I like your first one, Bethy. :D

He needed the memory he'd forgotten.

The life he required, she held.

The curse alighted for good reason.

His smile at her was heartbreaking.

Thank you, Busheh. :D I like this one:

Quote:
He needed the memory he'd forgotten.


Let's see here... * comes up with a few for fun *

To win, she must first lose.

Her only friend, his life fading.

The dragon slept, unaware of danger.

He did not heed her warning.

When she calls, you must answer.

And the gold turned to ashes.

The wound would never heal; ever.

They had failed, failed their creator.

They gave their lives for ours.

That is how are here today.

Here are some random six word stories:

She never knew who rescued her.

The last secret letter told all.

The dead man had a plan.

A gun. A knife. A body.

He awoke, shivering, in a dungeon.

A scream. Then it went black.

The pirate's skeleton began to dance.


I think I'm going to like this topic. :D

These are some six word-ers I found in an old note book of mine:

Murder on 2nd street
"I told you, I want candy!"

Youtube
I thought nobody would see it.

The final coming
"Well, you won't see that twice."

I should make some that are not over a year old. :dieshappy:

I was her only human protector.

Moaning voices filled the lonely halls.

I saw him. Then he disappeared.

He despaired, but could not die.

Broken body hid a broken soul.

He lived, he loved, he died.


Some of those might be similar to ones already done...I don't remember. :P

Aye, I thought as much! Just my two cents!
Variant; two dimes.

Money; lost. By selfishly getting more.

The man found the monster; himself.

They were all dead. Excepts one.

One million voices. All calling him.

The cave was full of bones.


Maybe next time one of them will be cheerful. :D

Those are great, Crushmaster! Here's a few:

His life was not worth living.

She wished upon a shooting star.

Hope was lost. Never again found.

Thank you! I like yours, too. :)

Here's a few more. Let's see what we get...

Her cries were unheeded by all.

The old statue began to cry.

The dusty, antiquated mirrors showed all.

A wraith passed through the hall.

Rattling, ghostly chains - everywhere. Then silence.

Thanks! I like this one. :D Here's one more:

His life edged on her unspoken words.

That one's good, excepts it's seven, not six words. :)

Hmm...Not sure of a good way to change it, though...

Hrm, the only way to do it is without the "her" but it doesn't seem as dramatic without it... :?

The desert island wasn't so deserted.

The chess board came to life.

Castle of horror, castle of hope.

Thanks. :D Last night, I made a picture with flames and a chessboard, and that's gotten me thinking about doing a book idea with chess as a major (*cough*) player.

In fact, the picture may become my new avatar...
