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”
