very short (6 word) stories

Wired has posted an article from the future (November 2006) on very short stories

Quote:

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

Quote:

It's behind you! Hurry before it
- Rockne S. O'Bannon

and more along the compsci.ca alley

Quote:

Computer, did we bring batteries? Computer?
- Eileen Gunn

My first attempt is the story of compsci:
