6x6 Join the Revolution

Tangent!

Ok, this is from a while back, but since we are doing speed writing, I figured I'd repost it here.

"We'll be brief: Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves."

WIRED magazine asked a group of authors to write 6 sentience stories, the results are amazing, if you haven't yet, you need to check this out:

Common, who wouldn't want to do this? It's a hell of a lot of fun, the prose writers' response to the Haiku. Take a quick NaNo break and get at it!

Here are my 6 by 6:

1. Gun cocked, detective sees dead wife.

2. "What does this big red butto-"

3. DC paper: sniper rifle, slightly used.

4. Robot seeks new heart, preferably human.

5. "The baby isn't human, get gun."

6. Writer starts revolution, apocalypse then ensues.
