This Story Is Just Six Words Long

toomuchplor: (everybody wants something)
There's a contest on CBC's new arts radio program Q: you have to write a love story that's only six words long. The concept's based on the story Hemingway considered to be his best (though it's kind of a bummer):

Hemingway wrote: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

Other examples from the Q blog:

Joan Rivers: "Liars! Hysterectomy didn't improve sex life."

Margaret Atwood: "Longed for him. Got him. Shit."

Joss Whedon: "Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so."


And it got me to thinking -- six word stories in fandom! We need this challenge!

So - six word stories in the comments, any fandom, any pairing, any genre.

Pimp this challenge! Just think, we could have hundreds of new stories out of this by the end of the day!

I shall start. In the comments.

Oh my god. This is a six-word fic with *layers*. I keep getting different ones. So far: 1) funny/sexy; 2) hot/sexy; 3)warm/family aww . . .

Also, this totally is ad copy for some future space travel company.:)
