6W-Stories

6W-Stories

During 1920s, some friends took a bet with the great Ernest Hemingway if he can write a story in just six words, YES - JUST SIX WORDS!!

Apparently he won the ten dollars bet with the following 6W-Story.

"For sale: Baby's shoes, never worn."

Amazing!! Just six words - can become a short story, novel, play, movie, poem - just anything. This has challenged many and a lot of 6W-stories were written and still getting written. Though one can vaguley agree that the famous quote of Julius Ceaser ( or is it Napoleon) "I came I saw I conquered" ("Veni Vidi Vici") may qualify for the first 6W-story, Hemingway's was quite a powerful one.

It's quite amazing how creative one can be with just six words. Someone tried this 3W-story.

"I'm your dad"

Here are a few written by various others, that I enjoyed (not in any order).

"Thought I was right, I wasn't"

"Please, this is everything, I swear"

"He longed. He married. Oh shit! "

"She didn't know it was loaded"

"With bloody hands, I said good-bye"

"Three went Iraq. One came back"
"He read his obituary with confusion"
"lepidopterophobia spelunkers”- Was one Google hit on!"

"She said nothing could go wrong"

"Today, I threw her toothbrush away"

"The car crashed, their hope soared"

"Will my son ever be ok!"

"Slim beautiful secretary became plumpy wife"

"He came, he died. They conquered!"



இதோ நம்மேட சரக்கு, எப்படின்னு சொல்லுங்களேன்!!!

”பஸ் படி வேண்டாம், நேற்று மாலை முதல்”

”இந்த மாசமும் தள்ளி போச்சா, அட கடவுளே”

”அது என்ன மரத்திலே தங்கத் தாலி தொங்குது?”

”யாருமற்ற கடை வீதியில் தனியே ஒடும் நாய்”

”அவளின் கண்ணீரை துடைக்கும் ஐம்பது பிஞ்சு விரல்கள்”

Eighteen Bottles - Hilarious

I had eighteen bottles of whiskey in my cellar and was told by my wife to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, or else...

I said I would and proceeded with the unpleasant task. I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and pured the contents down the sink with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from the second bottle and did likewise with it, with the exception of one glass, which I drank.

I then withdrew the cork from the third bottle and poured the whiskey down the sink which I drank. I pulled the cork from the fourth bottle down the sink and poured the bottle down the glass, which I drank. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink out of it, and threw the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork down the bottle. Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour.

When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand, counted the glasses, corks, bottles, and sinks with the other, which were twenty-nine, and as the houses came by I counted them again, and finally I had all the houses in one bottle, which I drank. I'm not under tha affluence of incohol as some tinkle peep I am. I'm not half as thunk as you might drink. I fool so feelish I don't know who is me, and the drunker I stand here, the longer I get.
