Second Annual Six-Word Story Contest

Dan is too much of a chicken to re-implement the contest for the best Second Annual Six-Word Story Contest, so I am taking it upon myself to be the "man." (Like that "sexual language" as Sister Morgan says?)

Winner gets a Viking Bar. Just kidding, this is a joke in honor of the good old Education Department. If you don't get it, just read on.

Rules:
1. Must be six words long--no longer, no shorter.
2. Don't cheat. (If you figure out how to cheat, please let us know.)
3. No profanity please (unless it's imperative for the story).
4. Submit all entries as responses to this post. (If they are bad, log in as Kaitlin when she's not looking.)

Here is my six word story. (That wasn't it).

Creeeeeek. Tip-toe, tip-toe. AAAAHHHHHHH! Older brothers!

Jami said...

Rushing water. Flailing arms. Tipped canoe.

Chan said...

"Authentic?"
"Yup"
"I'll take it."
Sucker.

Chan said...

Crumbling chimney. Blackened foundation. Green shoots.

S.Morgan said...

Jami, it's interesting how many different perspectives we have on your canoe tip, though I'm still slightly ashamed we ran for cameras rather than help you out of the river.

Icy Jami. Chan smiles. Kaitlin yells.

S.Morgan said...

Dentists. Drills. Edges blur. Kill.

Brad & Emily said...

Sister Morgan's story was too short.

Dan was my hero until today.

"Cute roommates? And nunnathis kinda-cute crap."

Brad & Emily said...

I'm getting married in 41 days.

S.Morgan said...

Emily's six are coolest words ever.

Matthew R. Hall, Esq. said...

Is "41" really a word? Nope.

S.Morgan said...

Silly Esq, if you bend rules to count "nunnathis kinda-cute" as real words, I say 41 works, especially since it can be converted to hyphenated "forty-one," which is more legal than your "kinda-cute hyphenation."

New six
You know we're right, Matt, retract.

Dentists. Drills. Edges blur. Dream. Kill.)

"...extra mustard."
"But isn't she allergic?"

Natorade said...

Blazing bulbs. Still snoozing. Totally toasted.

glance downward. toe pivots. rooster crows.

Natorade said...

don't make sense. haven't slept awhile. (seriously though, if I'm not making sense thats why)

Daniel Jared Sorensen said...

You pretend you don't see me.

Jami said...

"You're not pregnant yet?" Children's honesty.
(Funny story from Primary today.)

I'm going to beat Sis. Morgan.

Julie M said...

Yeah. This is my favorite contest.

Julie M said...

You are 21? And you're married?

S.Morgan said...

Six-year-olds are incredibly scary.

This one is for the ten-word story contest:

"This was a wedding ring, Crystal, not a toy crab."
(Sis. Morgan)

iBo said...

Possible conclusions to Crystal's story:

Hobos stole the ring for booze.

The toy crab ate the ring.

Found ring swallowed by little children.

Toddler chokes to death on ring. (this is matt's suggestion)

Orphans eat for another two weeks.

Missing ring distracts students from homework.

iBo said...

Easier to insult than six-word story.

Jami said...

Stranger in my bed: overworked, exhausted.

Julie M said...

Six words can be too much.

Julie M said...

I forgot to tell you that.

S.Morgan said...

1)Ibo's imagination is completely overthetop weird.
2)OK, therefore, let's move to Haiku.

Anonymous said...

This is my haiku -
it's about nothing at all.
But it still works, right?

Brad & Emily said...

i love these six word contests. (And Matt, six is a word.)

Crystal said...

haha i forgot about these. I'm going to do this in my class tomorrow.
