Ok,I am now entering into the domain of comprehension.I had never been exposed to such minimalist style of writing.It is like modern art and now I am beginning to appreciate it! I wonder how you came up with this beautiful line..was it in a flash or you narrowed it down until you arrived at the “proverbial” ‘six words’? Just curios! 🙂
I’m not sure where or when the “six word story” originated, but it most likely wasn’t with Ernest Hemingway as most people believe. I first came across the form over at http://listentothebabe.com/ . Babe’s work is just brilliant. I’m a huge fan. And she’s written quite a few of these six word stories. All are far better examples of the form than my attempt I might add. Nevertheless, Tati has written one in response to my attempt, and we’ll be publishing it very soon! 🙂
Argh, this is too good! (if I may say so?) It just goes to show you don’t need a lot of words to convey a powerful meaning. On the contrary, the fewer words, the more intense it gets! (at least, in this case!) Greatly tempted to try six word stories now, hehe.

A huge story in six words, with seemingly infinite possibilities. Bravo!
