Very Short Stories

Posted on Nov 6, 2007

Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

He called it his best work. Others have tried:

  • Dorothy: “Fuck it, I’ll stay here.” – Steven Meretzky
  • Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket. – William Shatner
  • Machine. Unexpectedly, I?d invented a time – Alan Moore
  • Automobile warranty expires. So does engine. – Stan Lee
  • Metrosexuals notwithstanding, quiche still lacks something. – David Brin
  • Longed for him. Got him. Shit. – Margaret Atwood

What’s yours?

Mine would be:

“Pandora, don’t open that box! Shit.”
