Everyone knows of the famous six word story "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn," by Hemmingway. I am part of an online group which writes six word stories in his honour. The title of the story is above six words and is shown in bold.

A screech of (in)humanity(?)

"Racism ends when there's only us!"

---

Diamond or Coal

E - N - V - I - R - O - N - M

E - Hearts are like carbon - N

T - M - A - T - T - E - R - S

---

Bullying - Reaction

Drip, drop.

"Never again."

Blood?

...

Sweat?

---

Birth

Cold, withered. Blue. Arrival? Tear stained.

---

Humanity

Gazing upwards, dragged down. Foolishly praying.

I own all these six word stories.

Hello :)
this was all interesting. I have never seen six word stories, so this was an interesting read for me. Its cool because you just let the unsaid words fill in, I guess is how to describe it.

Very, very cool :)

I love how powerful just even six words can be, these stories are just beautiful.
I particularly enjoyed 'Humanity', those six words really summed just about everything up. :D
Absence weakens mediocre passions and increases great ones the same way wind blows out candles and kindles fires.
