Of course we did, Riniel. Hemingway's original story was: "For sale: Baby shoes, never used."

I liked the one by Jonathan:


And also the edit someone did..

Those are cool! I like the first one. Though I don't envy the deer...

One life, one bullet, changes everything.

It was a whole new world.

The life he knew was gone.

The right place, right time. Destiny.

Thanks, BushMaid.


Like picking up your first guitar.

Hey, not everybody who picks up a guitar eager to learn blooms. *sniff.

Haha, very true. *huggles FMI*

I play a Forbidden Musical Instrument.

I see you've added that to your signature.

How did you guess?

Since we're talking about it, I also love the sword.

Why, thankyou. I found it on the web somewhere, and after a couple of -hours- alteration, it finally came up alright.

Yeah, I can't imagine adding the colors and changing the sizes would be easy. Good work.

BushMaid is a master with swords.

(To get this runaway topic back)

I saw the rebellion lost steam

There's a new essence system *groan*
(Do the smileys count as words?)

These sentences are really super fun!

But we're not doing sentences. Stories.

The men watched him die, forsaken.
I stood paralyzed as he struck.
Yard Sale: cannons and other miscellany.

(To re-rail our poor lost thread. )

I never thought you'd betray me.

I gave my life for you.

Once upon a time, the end.

Hey, I was just talking with George Lucas. He made one.

"No Luke, I am your father."

Thank you, Andrew. Nice stories!

Those are good, Jaynin.

I hate to break it to you, Hilly, but I think the real quote (in the movie) is just: "No, I am your father." Much to many people's dismay.

Since I like thrillers, I decided to write a few six word thriller stories:

Lots of blood, but no body.

Familiar handwriting on a ransom note.

His gun was missing a bullet.

Ok, then...

"No, I am your father." *screams*

Better?

Yes.

Those have a lot of impact, Jonathan.

Thank you. I hoped they would.

I hardly even noticed that, Evening. Every sentence has exactly six words. Now I am doing it too.

I noticed that about Evening's sentences. She is quite talented, it appears.

And now, another six word story:

The night of horror seemed endless.

The sadness enveloped around the girl.
--
A lady, fair and bright, sang.
--
A woman cried, alone and forgotten.
--
The fate of destiny is unknown.
--
Forbidden, forgotten, the world was lost.
--
There were tears upon red roses.
--
She tried to forget the bulletshot.
--
A tear upon a rose glows.
--
Her true love was never forgotten.
--
A bullet pierced the air loudly.

Betelgeuse's explosion filled the night sky. Has anybody else heard about that?

This one is deep, Elly:

That one suggests many interesting possibilities.


I've seen it on the news.

He stared down the road uncertainly.

Life takes us anywhere or nowhere.

Life: not a highway, a goat track.

The narrow gate is a squeeze.

The right way is the hardest.

Life often throws us a curveball.

I'm in quite a ponderous mood.

BushMaid's reminded me of Rascal Flatts - but their song doesn't exactly fit in to six words:

Life a highway: gonna ride it.

eruheran is signing off for now (Wow, it's even infected my name)

"Oh my..."
"Don't!!!"
Bullet shot rings.

Lady Luck had smiled on me.

God gave me you... forever, eternal.

I am eternally yours forever, forever.

Penny on floor, good luck today.

They say nothing is impossible, really?

My eyes grow used to darkness.

Revolver on the floor, one chance.

One chance had come and gone.

There he was, one good guy.

One shiny bullet to defeat them.

Grace is a respectable woman leader.

Minutes after their engagement, he died.

The truck crashed into the day-care.

"It's stopped!"
"Too late, snowed in."

For sale, baby shoes. Never used.

Hey, you can't steal Hemingway's, Elanhil!

Maid, now I'm singing one of the pop songs from the CARS sound track... "Life is a highway, I want to ride it allll night long..."

Hehe I love that song, and I think I did a highway one like that earlier. You've got it singing through my head now. My brother can play it quite well on the guitar. I can't.

Cars has an awesome sound track! I agree, it does harken back to Rascall Flats.

You my friend, are very morbid.

She's not really, it's an act.

And 'Cars' does have a great soundtrack. I love 'life is a highway'. I actually found a Bible verse that mirrored it once. Let me see if I can find it...

Prov 16:17 - "The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul."

Why do people call me 'she'? Is my name the primary reason? I won't get mad at Bush. We know he didn't mean it. Kidding

Pfft! I know you aren't a she, Elanhil! I was referring to Elly! I was saying that she's not really morbid. I try to be on the ball when referring to all you guys and girls on here, because it's embarrassing being called what you aren't.
Yes, I'm a coughcough-profile stalker-cough

You two just inspired three stories.

The confusion led them to war.

The misunderstanding was very nearly fatal.

A mistake brought down a nation.

Eruheran finds these little incidents funny.

But remembers that he can't distract.
Because stories are the main aim.
OK, to stories we'll go, then.


The house split, leaving bitter silence.

The air froze in his lungs.

The cheeseburger fell to the ground. (Nooo!!!!!!)

Solitary pickle round fell from it.

Without cash, he knew it ended.

Well, with a name like 'Shawn' that can go either way... (or is the guy's name only spelled Sean??)

I do love all these stories, even if some of them are ridiculous.

I agree, Cars soundtrack is great! Glad it wasn't just me making that connection.

I've seen the guy's name spelled Sean, Shawn, and Shaun.

Now that is a tragedy.


Me, too.

These are all super good, guys.

This one is interesting because it can be interpreted in a variety of different ways.
