Can You Tell A Story In…

Last week, I asked you if you could tell a story in ten words. You clearly could, as you’ll see below. So I’m going to make the challenge tougher. Can you tell a story in six-words?

I’ve had a go:

Hand slackens. Tears fall. Son dead.

Back to last week and your ten-word stories:

KittyBoo63:

Tiny fingers, searching blue eyes. I sob, new life.

Sue Vincent:

Earth hit the coffin lid. She smiled. Free at last.

Kevin:

“Those aren’t my stilettos!” she said, her eyes turning arctic.

Sanjukta:

He was home early! She cooked merrily. They ate together.

EDC Writing:

Take it, go on take it, what’s a heartbeat anyway!

Geoff Le Pard:

Parallel universe? But how do we get back for tea?
