[QUOTE=motelheartache]Blackbook Magazine recently had a contest for the best six word story. The idea came from Hemingway's famous six word story FOR SALE/BABY SHOES/NEVER USED. Let's hear some of yours.[/QUOTE]
Once upontime, there were three turtles.
NOTE: I'm not cheating. I wrote this story when I was 3 or 4 years old, my Dad has it on reel-to-reel tape. It's the whole story, and they way I said it on the tape, 'upontime' is one word functioning as 'upon a time.' I want to get the 'Three Turtles' published because it trump's Amy Hempel's 'Housewife' for shortest story ever, it's compelling, and it would give the OED guys another word to find four additional uses of...

I bet a lot of authors are feeling pretty foolish right now, not just stopping at six words. This works on an amazing variety of books, and in some cases the improvement is astonishing...

everyone seems to misunderstand. you're trying to tell a story here, not an individual thought. for instance [b]"Hemingway made his as a gimmick."[/b] is just a singular thought, whereas [b]"Everyone obsessed, many tried, few succeeded"[/b] does lend some sort of beginning - end sequence.

I noticed this with some of them also, trypd, but you have to allow for variances in the formula, and for people to learn through trial and error as they explore a burgeoning form.
And now I'm not even sure if these 2 qualify:
"Fear led him to the truth."
"The truth lead him to fear."

indeed, but you of all people (eh teach?) should know that trial and error might be a great way to learn, but if you've got someone to help you understand what you're doing wrong and right, you'll pick it up faster and you'll have more understanding. variances on the formula are negligent, simple rules are "Tell a story using only 6 words" key words being "story" and "6 words".

The garden was like a lady.
The boat glides magically into chasm.
Birds have ponderously musical gleaming wings.
Turned left, hit car. Needed stitches.

No food left. Must replace Fido.
there is no "right" or "wrong"
Look up "story", there's a definition.
