Six word stories

[mewelke]

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.11/sixwords.html

Joss Whedon, Margaret Atwood, Alan Moore, Rudy Rucker, Neil Gaiman, Neal Stephenson, William Gibson...Not a bad list of contributors.

[Busman]

Six words can't sufficiently explain anything.

[Howlett]

Six words can't sufficiently explain anything.
You're damn right about that mate.

[Israel Horowitz]

You're damn right about that mate.

We got Astrotrain, you don't. Ha!

[St Omo]

Six words can't sufficiently explain anything.

Oh Chris, you got me good.

[Israel Horowitz]

I don't think it's meant to explain anything; that's the difference between a piece of fiction and a textbook. There's nothing wrong with literary exploration when every other human discipline, from art to religion to medicine, does pretty much the same thing.

This, however, feels like a circlejerk, and bringing together a host of literary young (and a few old) guns seems to devalue the contribution. It reeks of "because we can", and how often does that ever end well?

edit: If you're so smart, be yourself.

I told Howly's story pretty succinctly.

[Brian Reed]

Grandma didn't always smell like that.

[St Omo]
