How 'bout the Hemingway challenge? He was once challenged to write an entire story in six words. His response? For sale: Baby shoes, never used.


Kat gave me a good idea for a challenge thread. I thought it would be cool if we could try to do some of these: write a story in six words. So what do you have?

_________________
You have blue skin with orange polka dots. Four eyes, one red, one yellow, one green, and one blue. You have four arms, two are furry and two are scaly. One ear is a floppy dog's ear and the other is a pointy dog's ear. Your hair is a mess of tentacles. You have the body of a centaur, with four wings and two tails (both with feathers on the end). Two wings are pink. The other two are green and black, respectively. You have a row of sharp spines going down your back (very sharp). You also hiccup rainbow bubbles... ~Vili
So, now you all know what I look like.

We're creating a HW RPG! Come check it out!
