Everyone died. Why did I survive?
Think 55-word fiction is hard? How about six-word stories? This was in spirit of Hemingway’s immortal six-word story: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Wired published these sci-fi shorts:
We went solar; sun went nova.
- Ken MacLeod
Rained, rained, rained, and never stopped.
- Howard Waldrop
It cost too much, staying human.
- Bruce Sterling
Epitaph: Foolish humans, never escaped Earth.
- Vernor Vinge
More here. Care to write your own six-word stories? Need not be sci-fi. Mine is in the title.
