    Very Short Stories

    Found a cool page on wired this morning. Its essentially a list of 6 word stories by 33 famous writers and lillustrated by 5 designers (maybe famous). I found them quite amusing, maybe you'll be amused too....

    Heres a couple or two that I liked:

    "Failed SAT, Lost Scholarship. Invented rocket" - William Shatner
    "Vacuum collision. Orbits diverge. Farewell, love" - David Brin
    "Gown removed carefully. Head, less so." - Joss Whedon
    "Epitaph: Foolish humans never escaped Earth" - Vernor Vinge
    "We kissed. She melted. Mop please"
    "Its behind you! Hurry before it..."
    "Im your future child. Don't cry"
    "Im dead I've missed you. Kiss?" - Neil Gaiman
    "The baby's blood type? Human, mostly" - Orson Scott Card
    "Kirby had never eaten toes before" - Kevin Smith
    "Husband, transgenic mistress; wife: 'You cow!'" - Paul Di Filippo
    "Don't marry her. Buy a house" - Stephen A. Donaldson
    "Time machine reaches future!!!...nobody there..." - Harry Harrison
    "With bloody hands I say goodbye" - Frank Miller
    "Internet wakes up? Ridicu - no carrier" - Charles Stross

    "Meh. That will be enough eh?" - skelstar
    "If life gives you a shit sandwich..." someone please complete this expression

    "My bike, she is broke - again" The_Dover
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them
