Here's the idea: formulate a story using six words. Any six words. But choose them carefully.
My stories:
"She died in his arms. Again."
"We lost ourselves on an airplane."
"I gave my life to die."
It's a fun little exercise I like to do when I'm writing poetry and my muse runs dry. Try it!
A bird crapped on my head.
@dynamaso: I loved your stories! I don't really consider myself a part of the JU Writer's Club, but I'll have to look into it a bit more. There are a group of really talented individuals in these here parts.
@misterME: Excellent.
Hmm, the ever brilliant Alex.
...but 6 words. Mmm, it's hard for me to be succinct sometimes.
"Betrayed, and death came unto them."
"Love evoked, caused us to blossom."
"Anger took us, pain our fuel."
Interesting concept...that it is.

Totally...you write well so try and contribute a bit once in awhile, Al. It's fun.
I can't do it without sounds like YODA.
@ Jythier: Great stories I especially liked 2 & 3.
It may take a bit of getting used to, but from what I've seen at dynamaso's blog, you're doing wonderfully.
Since I'm a little brain dead right now I guess I'll cheat and put some here from last year, and to continue the cheating part the last story is 7 words.
I liked them, Zoo.
Yours are great. Always a fan of puns.
You guys are very good!
Here's mine:
Timidly, she stepped on the stage.
"What...?!" He shouted, expletives came flying...
I earned these gray hairs boy!
LOL! Interesting concept and you were right DbBs, nice way to get the Muse going!
One that's more famous that I stumbled upon recently (can't remember the name of the author, if I find it, I'll post it)
For sale: baby shoes. Never worn.
Thanks, Zoo and Tex.
I think it's by Ernest Hemingway (but not 100 percent sure).
