Inspired by Hemingway's famously short story that spanned just six words, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Wired asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers (and one William Shatner) from all media to submit their succinct six word tale. Here's a sampling.
Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket. - William ShatnerGown removed carelessly. Head, less so. - Joss Whedon
His penis snapped off; he’s pregnant! - Rudy Rucker
It cost too much, staying human. - Bruce Sterling
The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly. - Orson Scott Card
Publish. And then he stopped blogging.
