Contest!

I'm revising this post because I've learned that this six-word story challenge is not a mere meme - it's a contest initiated by Robert Hruzek at Middle Zone Musings. The goal is to tell a story in six words. Thanks to Fat Doctor for the scoop!

A drumroll, please, as I now present my best efforts:

1. Slick shoes, icy hill, farewell dignity.

2. Chili dinner leads to separate beds.

3. Unchecked interpretive dance puts eye out.

4. Pigs flew and politician kept promise.

5. Mom gives up sleeping, accomplishes much.

6. Pluto demoted, inexplicably maintains stony silence.

7. "Where's my finger?" asks the butcher.

8. "Where's my head?" asks the chicken.

9. Mama had baby; head popped off. (Does anyone else remember that saying from childhood? And you pop the flower off a dandelion when you say it? Maybe it was just our zip code...)

10. Captured tiger hollered; fined fifty dollars. (Come on - you HAVE to know this one.)

11. Steve swaps puppy for rock guitar.


Straining my brain for
a catchy six-word story -
tasty twisty fun!
