Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words
("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.")
and is said to have called it his best work.
These are some of my favorite examples given in the article:
Longed for him. Got him. Shit.- Margaret Atwood
With bloody hands, I say good-bye.- Frank Miller
The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly.- Orson Scott Card
I even found this where the author composed 6 Word Stories to match her Flicker Photos. So I guess I need to write mine and then I want y'all to post your 6 Word Story in the comments. OK, how hard can it be? Only 6 words, here goes nothing.......
Potato peels. Bloody knife. Band-aid. Ouch!
I know, not great writing. So what if I used band-aid as one word!!! It has a hyphen so I'm gonna keep it as one word. Let's see YOU do better.

This IS a great idea! Maybe I'll write one.
What a terrific idea, and I'm game, so here's mine:
First names only. Hello. Coffee. Goodbye.
I must be losing my mind. I could have swore I left you one here. I went back to see what others had left and I see that I have in fact lost my mind.
Sister in trouble, all her fault.
Six words only? My fifteen seconds.
