Years of waiting, love broke through.

Waiting, waiting, waiting, do you know how much I have done of that recently. But, as in this story, it paid off.

I wouldn't be able to write a 6 word story very well, maybe a ten to twenty-five though.

Glad you's like it.

You can read it in a few different ways.

A good quote is "Good things come to those who wait". Although I can't help but remember the rat from "Charlotte's Web" replying with,
"Nope, good things come to those who find it and shove it in their mouths."

Elanhil did not write a story.

Write a story, all ye peasants!

A time... where time didn't exist.

Time is the essence... of icecream.

She slowly bit the forbidden fruit.

Sin knocked; and she answered it.

Dying there, he regretted his choice.

The missing piece; it fitted perfectly.

That rat was annoyingly FAT!!!

The cool part about my story is that God intervened and changed my friend(for the better, of course), and I thought that it would take her at least a month or even more to get to where she is now! Praise the Lord!!! *I sing the song "Praise the Lord" or whatever the title is....* (don't comment on this part please

That's wonderful, Kenton! It's such a blessing to see God working in the lives of others.

I like random.

When I first met Shawn I thought she was a boy for the longest time. :shock:

Then when Airianna started calling her her sister I got really, really confused. And finally I figured out that Shawn was a girl, and that was weird for a while. But now I'm used to it, and no one ever suspected. :rofl:

But I can't resist telling a funny story, even when I'm the one who looks stupid. :roll:

So now you all know my secret.

"Vanya thought Shawn was a boy."

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** February 1st, 2011, 1:48 pm

For the first week I thought you were a boy. :rofl:

Shawn thought Kaynin© was a boy.

Kenton, you should try a 6-word! It's a great challenge and not that hard. You won't know until you try, and that's why it's a challenge!

The annoying mod said Kenton must...

There are at least 3 6-word phrases in that first paragraph, if I'm counting right... :shock:

*laughing* Actually, Shawn that wasn't what I meant.

There is the quote, "Time is the essence" or something like that? Well, when you make icecream it has a flavour, or essence, such as Vanilla Essence. So I picked up on the word, and made the icecream flavour "time".

Yeah, weird I know!

Elanhil · **Posted:** February 1st, 2011, 5:01 pm

I agree too, but I'm cutting down on the quotes.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** February 1st, 2011, 5:01 pm

That was mind-boggling, actually. Which probably makes it awesome.

You did WHAT to the submarine?!

Ackp! It's the dreaded Michael Finnigan!

The Rabbit Room has no rabbits.

A heartbeat. He is not dead.

Jump. Fall. Land. Wince. Walk away.

BushMaid · **Posted:** February 1st, 2011, 5:18 pm

I'm glad you found it interesting.

Now that I've boggled everyone's minds, anyone else have a story?

Or are they too scrambled for that?

Something very unusual was going on.

I'll try...

...Light that cut to the heart...
...A thief dies a thief's death...
...Life is a gift, accept it...

Those aren't really six word stories, more like principles.

From a tree, a crafted instrument.

The music tore through his soul.

Hearing the words, he fell; dead.

They never heard her voice again.

His hand disappeared into the book.
