That one could be interesting, depending on where you go with it.

This mystical manor might mean death.

She touched it. No turning back.

Alas, she thought he loved her.

They all knew him - he didn't.

He could've saved her. He could've!

If looks could kill, that would've.

It wasn't her fault. He lied.

The silent music is utterly deafening.

Her rescuer's here - just in time.

Our adventure just became slightly deadly.

I tried a few fantasy six word stories.

The king's fall helped him stand.

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Works in progress:

The Diegosian Mark, 115,600 words (Preparing for Publication)
The Diegosian Rider, 121,400 words (Finished)
The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)

Very clever. Has a similar epic and deep feel as Jonathans that I quoted.

"Last infinity"... I wonder what that means? Answering that question would make a story out of it, methinks. ;)

Thank you, guys! :D I'll let you know what comes of it.

This was a long time ago... Did you ever finish that story, Phili?

I like that one, Aemi. It says a lot, just in those few words.

*Summons Philli so she can see the question he asked*

It's been too long since someone posted in here. :'(

The amulet foreboded a dark encounter.

You needed to write a short story so you could test something out, and come here in search for inspiration. You decided to base your story off of the hemmingway, "The death of the last infinity"... and then we never heard about it again. ;)
