6-Word Stories

[bambam484]

In the latest issue of Wired Magazine, Authors were asked to create 6-word stories, such as Hemingway's famous "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

Here's my fave from the article;

"Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so."
- Joss Whedon

others listed include some by Stan Lee, Ronald D. Moore, William Shatner, Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman, and Alan Moore

Would anyone here at Geekdrome like to try writing some 6-word Stories?
