Subject: 6 word stories

Posted by: Rowena8482
Date: Jul 11 09

I read a piece somewhere the other day about "6 word stories" - basically, they don't have to be exactly six, but they must be a complete story, with a beginning, a middle, and an end, in as few words as possible.
The ones printed were
"For Sale, baby shoes. Never worn."
and
"The last man on Earth sat alone. There was a knock at the door"

Anyone want to try their hand at another?

A short story involving religion, sex and mystery:

"Good Lord, I'm pregnant, I wonder who's the father"?

Not my own work, but I've always liked it.
