Guess who broke their promises again? me... :(
To be fair, I have been busy. I have been reorganizing my room, which has taken three days, as well as volunteering at ILearn Center for kids with learning disabilities. Also, I'm lazy. However, I'm back and I want to try out writing six-word stories. As some of you may know, Ernest Hemingway was the first to make six-word stories popular in recent literature with his story: "For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn." There were other news articles out at the time that had similar titles, such as "Little Shoes, Never Worn," which was written about a woman who had lost her baby to death. Anyways, he was definitely the one that popularized fast fiction, and I will attempt to do so myself.
My first step was to find a website that gave me random word lists and then scroll through and stop without looking. Whichever word/phrase I land on I will write about. Some are sad, some are jolly, I tried to make it a mix between the two. Here are my results...Enjoy!
1. Highway
Slowing cars, nosy drivers, two bodies.
2. Eyes
Her passionate eyes destroyed obstacles ahead.
3. Water
Both droughts and tsunamis can kill.
4. Signature
Written in ink, signed in blood.
5. Gemstone
Amongst the rocks, lies a gemstone.
6. Bowl
Two bowls, one choice: Eternal Happiness.
7. Spot Light
8. Man
Hope: abandoned. He crouched and wept.
9. Solid
Solid evidence: it was love, indeed.
10. Umbrella
Fought rain, couldn't fight the thoughts.

I hope you liked those, and I would love to see any of you try it out. Have a great day!
