The November issue of Wired Magazine features a story called “Very Short Stories.” They’ve asked 33 writers and 5 designers to create 6-word science fiction. The best example of a 6-word story, which is quoted in the article, remains Hemingway’s:
“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
Check out the article on Wired. Or post in the comments your best work. Six words only. Sevens need not apply.
In other brief literary news, The Geist Postcard Story Contest is up and running until Dec. 31. Maximum 500 words.
I’ve got a little ad in the side bar running, click away at it. (I’ve done a swap for a print ad in the upcoming Geist issue, more on that later, but I’m very happy to support Geist magazine.)
