----------------------------------- Tony Wed Oct 25, 2006 10:34 pm very short (6 word) stories ----------------------------------- Wired has posted an article from the future (November 2006) on We'll be brief: Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves. The objective is to write a short story in just 6 words (defined as 5 spaces?) My favourites are It's behind you! Hurry before it - Rockne S. O'Bannon and more along the compsci.ca alley Computer, did we bring batteries? Computer? - Eileen Gunn My first attempt is the story of compsci: Need help with Turing?
