Summary: Ndoto haihadithiwi ~ You can’t name a dream.

- Swahili Proverb

Arthur and Eames are on the verge of giving up mind crime when Cobb convinces Arthur to be his point man on one last job — which rather inevitably goes wrong. Eames is pulled into the mess as Cobb’s simple heist spirals into an attempt on inception. It’s time to stop trespassing on the dreams of others; building a home takes two sets of hands.

Nearly Home (AO3 link)

Today I woke up to deep fog and the quiet that it brings, and it wasn't until after noon that it finally burned away. Now it's dark again, raining and not so much cold as holding the promise of cold, still and dark and hushed. It's perfect ghost story weather.

Tell me your scariest stories -- personal or second-hand or invented on the spot, I don't care... I'm in the mood for goosebumps!

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.
