Six word novels, they are great...

Kinda like Haiku, but not quite is the world of six word novels. I recently found this article in Wired where they invited sci-fi, horror and fantasy writers to write a novel in six words. Amazing I found that if you really like six words novel you can now buy a collection from Amazon, and you can submit your story to smithmag.net. Just as amazing I discovered that Treehugger.com is running a six word green memoir contest with smithmag.net.

Here are a few that I like:
Hemingway - "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn."
David Brin - "Bang postponed. Not Big enough. Reboot.
Steven Meretzky - "Wasted day. Wasted life. Dessert, please."
Margaret Atwood - "Longed for him. Got him. Shit"
Me (submitted to treehugger contest) - "Take bus, ride bike or walk."
