Course Correction

Despite finishing the story on time and managing a few hundred words of another, I have decided not to post any tonight. Instead I will be trying for a biweekly schedule so that hopefully I will be able to keep pace this time and not run out of material. In the meantime, enjoy (or not) some six word stories:

Do-gooder dies inevitably, tries anyway.

Promised destiny snatched away, ambition expands.

"I thought you loved me." "Briefly."

Universe's last words: "Don't press that!"

"For God?" "For God." *BLAM!*

Humanity reaches stars. Finds ruins, ours.

Imprisoned together, escaped together, dying singly.

Oh! It seems that you are refining the form here. I really enjoyed these.

I am noticeably impressed.

I like these stories :] They're like little comic strips :D

Ooh, thank you! More than half of them are distilled versions of stories I will be posting here.

I absolutely love 6 word stories. You're quite good at it. I particularly like number 3 best.

"Humanity reaches stars. Finds ruins, ours."

Charles Stress, the first story in his anthology "Wired", is rather this, although with twists :)

"For God?" "For God." *BLAM!*

This one simply makes us think of the Golden Compass, oddly. It is rather a different interpretation of *BLAM* to make it work, but it pleases us rather much. But then, we seem rather taken by Christian mythology as used by those who are not believers themselves.
