I always found it interesting how the mind just fills in the gaps for these six word stories so perfectly. Much of them could be there own novels, but I find that ideas formed in one’s head tend to taint themselves when put on paper. Author’s life is a hard one I suppose *shrug*

You make some good points there actually. Often what goes onto the page never feels quite as “pure” as the idea you had in your head. That’s always been my experience anyway. 😛

Wow, I got three! You guys are brave to put mine at the lead, especially given the quality of the others, which were so much better (something about serving the better wine first — it’s actually a good policy). Thank you!

We enjoyed your contributions, Gregory, so of course we’d include them. Oh, and we listed these in order of being received, so that probably accounts for why they were among the first in that list. 😀
