The 6 word story is such an amazing thing. Here's some notables giving it their shot:

"Cellar?" "Gate to, uh...hell, actually."
-Ronald D. Moore

To save humankind, he died again.
-Ben Bova

Don't marry her. Buy a house.
-Stephen R. Donaldson

Ok, we can so totally do better than these. Here's a few of mine (I'M BARRING MYSELF FROM COMPETING, DON'T WORRY)

Breaking News: Humanity saved by eccentric.

No estas comprende, my fat ass.

Apple cores fly across time. Kafka?

Six words you can't say, banana.

ATTENTION! World gone, throwing house party.

So, post a story, and I'll post a winner at the end of the month. We may not have the glamour of Karen's Wee Stories, but by god we've got spunk.
