A few years ago, I wrote about a wonderful challenge called Six-Word Memoirs. The idea was that you would write your memoir, sum up a relationship, or tell a personal story, using only six words. This time, thanks to Wired Magazine, I’ve discovered a treasure trove of six-word science fiction stories. I really love how much they kick-start my imagination, so I’ve posted my faves below. Each month, Wired publishes a six-word story prompt, and their readers write in their contributions. Then the winners are posted. I think they’re absolute genius!
