Six Word Stories
2006-10-25 10:09
by Score Bard

The six-word-story meme is making its way across the web. Let's play with it.

Paint a baseball image with six words. I'll start.

Zito curve. Palmeiro frozen. Inning over.

Your turn.

unmoderated, that is only five words.

Use six words to paint something.

It's kind of like a haiku.

We want to see a picture.

Make a scene come to life.

Draw a simple, clear, vivid image.

Make something beautiful because it's beautiful.
