6-Word Short Story Contest

Jump to Comments

Also in this month’s WIRED is the results of their 6-word short story contest.

I have two brief points. First, I was only haphazardly reading the mag, and misread one of the stories, and (I believe) improved it tremendously.

The correct version: “Gown removed carelessly. Head …. not so.”
How I read it: “Crown removed carefully. Head … not so.”

Mine is better, do you agree? Serendipity at its best.

And now, here is my entry to the contest, which I am disqualifying for being late:

“Bright flash of light. The End.”
