Good deal.


Ooo! I like these.

Here's a few more...

Her silent screams shook his soul.

Whispers in the well beckoned him.

The lone warrior, undaunted, stood still.

Overwhelming odds proved to be worthless.

Mine are not that good:

They left the last one....drowning.

Fear dissipated from their bloody eyes.

He ran headlong into the fray.

The man wrote backwards, proving useless.

He was dead. They were not.

The knife slid across the wall.

"It is finished" he said dying.

Hey! I like 'em.

* mind goes spinning on a whirlwind of so many story ideas *

* decides to calm mind by writing a few Hemingways *

Sound did not cause her deafness.

He searched for her for years.

Her past shaped the world's future.

Gonna try a few!
Laughing breezes became mocking breezes instead. Hmmm... that one's weird.

Smiles return easily to young faces.

The blade trembled in the wall.

Imagination makes everything better - at first.

It hurts to fall off clouds.

"I can't hold on much longer!"

Yay! More Hemingways! Keep 'em up, everyone!

A cold, bony hand silenced her.

One final arrow. This was it.

Empty hopes, worthless dreams. Total despair.

A voice called from the abyss.

The power of the six-word story lies in implication, doesn't it? Anyone who has mastered the art of showing shouldn't have a problem creating a good six-word story.

...

Plainly I'm not a master. Haha.

"Lovely, huh? Nobody else thinks so."

Nice.

They carried her into the fog.

The smell of death surrounded me.

Howling banshees were all around us.

The castle was littered with bones.

Those could be interesting.

Let's try a few more...

Thick fog surrounded the undermanned expedition.

The book was full of secrets.

It wasn't supposed to be empty.

Sorry I've been gone for awhile.


That one is awesome...
It makes me wonder what her non-human protectors are.

(and it inspired me )

It blinked at me. I screamed.

Flames came forth from searching tongues.

Only three paces left in life.

To live life in ten-hundred steps...

A staircase that ended inside itself.

The death of the last Infinity.

Wow. I got carried away...

Well, in my mind, it was God; he was the only protector besides Him.

Yay!

Hey! That's a good thing.

Wow... I like those two, S. Very interesting.

Wow..... 42 pages of six words stories..... Hmmm..... I'll try to add my own. probably won't be very good, I usually can't sum up what I want to say in even a short story.
Oh well, here's my go at it!

They kissed, sealing the true love.

Sappy, I know... like I said, I don't think six word stories are really my thing!

I wouldn't say sappy. Those are very good miss AzlynMae.

*looks at page count* *suddenly realises it really is up to 42* *faints*

Keep 'em coming, guys! Maybe we can make it to 50 pages.

It's a desperate race against time.

One last stand, or world'll end.

Ah.
I was thinking more along the lines of things-that-go-bump-in-the-night. Which makes me wonder why they're protecting her... Blackmail...
*is getting carried away again*


Sometimes...


Thanks, Bethany.

*cracks knuckles*

One by one, the bones cracked.

"Code cracked."
I grinned.
"Intruder detected!"

I suddenly realized this wasn't easy.

That's not bad at all - don't worry about it.



That works too, what I said was just what I had in mind.


Nice!

Here are some attempts...

Oh, a snake pit. How nice.

Giant spiders swarmed the hapless soldiers.

The princess was surrounded by witches.

The skull laughed. Then it exploded.

I kinda like that last one...

I like them all but especially the last one.

This is my favorite of your most recent ones:

'Twould make a great scene.

Thanks!

Time for some more shots...About the only writing I'm doing.

Horrific screams rent the night air.

We weren't really alone. Not anymore.

She gasped. Then she blacked out.

Like a horror movie. Only real.

The wicked dragon defended his captive.

Nice ones.

Prisoners used chains to their advantages.

Chains that had held for millenia...

He was executed: death by dust.

Thanks. Me like!

May as well try some more, eh?

The ancient creature had been unleashed.

Sick smiles and lying lips, everywhere.

The poison had become his lifeblood.

The horse had saved his life.

*rubs hands together*

The sorcerer's orb glowed orange anew.

The plant's feelers crept around him.

The creature's blood was like acid.

A life for a life... falling.

So let's see... Crush needs to write a fantasy epic, where every chapter features an event from one of his 6-word-stories. Good deal!

Hmm...That's actually not a bad idea.

An icy tower, the sorcerer's home.

The village was infested, completely overrun.

His life for hers, complete sacrifice.

Dwarves, elves, humans - united for Jehovah.

I like that one!

You now have your story!


Awesome. Especially the last one.

A last rally for the orb.

The plant almost consumed her whole.

A stone dagger, cold as ice.

A final battle to decide fate.

Thanks! "Jehovah" seems like a good fantasy-ish name for God.

Heh, good point. It's actually a pretty...well, awesome idea...

Sui! Those. Were. Awesome. Keep up the good work!

Time to give it another shot (ever get the idea I like the Hemingway Challenge? )...

The splattered blood was still fresh.

Even captive, God was with her.

She only thought she was alone.

A wizard's sword, a hero's bane.

The castle, cursed, the soldiers, dispersed.

The princess wasn't the only resident.

My brother was my worst enemy.

The ghouls had taken the city.

Whew! That was a lot. Not sure how good they were, but there they are. Enjoy! Keep 'em up, everyone, I thoroughly enjoy reading them.

Those were awesome!


*is laughing on the floor*

Eh heh. I thought about that too.

.............I think we need to talk to Jonathan about this one.

Hey! It's a good book idea.

*chuckles* As long as there's no truth in it.

These are all so awesome, folks! You have raised the bar. *rubs hands together* Let's see...

His life was spared for another.

Her heart broke for wrong reasons.

Her hand held his only hope.

The game rules were easy: cheat.

It turned out winning wasn't everything.

Their chess game was costing lives.

The vial held life and death.

The crown was not of gold.

It was worth her dying smile.

The eyes blinked; death in sight.

The Light obliterated all her fears.

The truth had become a lie.

The liar told the truth.

The power was in his words.

Ink and tears dampened the page.

The story was far from over.

Hehe... I like that one!


The last sole survivor; was infected.

The darkness burnt out the light.

Blood, and an angry rubber duckie.

But the shadow was not anyone's...

My responses while reading these:

Ooh! Eeh! Ahh!

An angry rubber ducky? Wow...

Alrighty...Let's see what we can come up with...

Dying would've been better than failing.

The friend had become a monster.

Deep in the mountains, he prayed.

The poisoned king grew more wicked.

Love, to hate, forgiveness, to bitterness.

The sands became a mighty army.

Not my best, I don't think, but there ya go!

I am the last soldier standing.

* chokes on water and sputters * * gasps for breath * * shakes head * Scared me for a moment there, Luke, I thought you were the last solider standing and for a bit there I was concerned.

* cough * Anyways...

He was her refuge and strength.

She would never forget that sight.

The memory hid in shadows, until...

Nice work!

Okay, here's the deal, folks! I need to write and publish a short story via Smashwords to test the process. Problem is, I don't have an unpublished short story. So. I need to write one.

Crush suggested I pick a Hemingway to expand, which was an epic idea on his part. Only, I don't have near enough time to go through the thread and there are SO many good sentences!

So. I need you to give me some suggestions! Which Hemingway should I use for a short story? Please note that by suggesting your own Hemingway, you're giving me permission to use it.

@Phili: Ahh! There are too many good ones... I'll try and nominate one, though...

These are new ones - not nominations...

The dice rolled, and heads followed.

The pain could not stop him.

One versus one hundred. No surrender.

The chains wouldn't hold it forever.

*eyes 43 pages* You ask us to suggest?

Actually, unless Crush is going to do it, I'd suggest that chess one that Crush did. It has awesome potential. Also your 'president's orphaned daughter' would be a good one too.

I second the "president's orphaned daughter" one.
If you're looking for comedy you can do any of my Hemmingway's that have squirrels.
(actually, if you find any of mine that you want to expand on, feel free to go ahead)

I'd prefer none of mine be used...I'd like to try writing some of them myself. I'm honored one was nominated, though.

I'd like to, since Sui gave the green light, nominate one of his - this one.

The death of the last Infinity.

Keep up the awesome work, mate!

Now, for some more (I'll take any excuse I can get to write more )...

The blessing had become a curse.

His own family, his worst nightmare.

The barricade wouldn't last much longer.

A rusty sword - my only weapon.

The ancient helmet saved his life.

Voices in the mist, chilling, deathly.

*is honored that his hemmingway was nominated*

I really like that one! And here are a few of my own...

The dagger slashed across his throat

She didn't want to leave home

One quest. One prize. One man.

He lay there, gasping for air.

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

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

Ya write great ones, mate! And now you'll get to see what a fellow writer does with it.

Thanks, Azyln. Yours are excellent! Keep it up.

Yay!

Let's try some more, eh?

The loathsome fiends just kept coming.

An impossible mission. I took it.

Shadowy horses and their riders, everywhere.

Me against a dragon. Complete insanity.

Yay! *also wants to know what the last infinity is*
