Six Words

[ashessnow]

I just don't love you anymore.

Err. I was going to say that. So instead I changed mine to:

 

Please. Tell me you love me?

[Graeme]

Don't look. Just keep your memories.

[Phantom]

I saw him and I smiled.

 

That's my other one... dang it's hard to think of more but i'll try

 

Eric

[myself_i_must_remake]

everyone tried to be too grave i think. lots of death. lots of lost love.

 

i went for something lighter:

 

unarmed boy running, covered with paintballs.

 

the exercise reminds me of a play erin and i thought of. it's a simple play.

 

characters: two people, at least one of which can move

 

props: a loaded gun

 

stage directions: gun lies in the middle of the stage. characters start equidistant from it on either side.

 

improvise.

Hemingway was the first thing I thought of when I saw the subject, and interestingly enough, this thread is about Hemingway! What do you know?

 

'I became a cockroach, and starved.'

I'm sure it's not hard to figure that one out...

 

'Was that thing still my mother?'

...could be interesting.

 

'I'm used to loving you again.'

[clumber]

Ghost: I said that I'm ill!

[Morena Darkling]

Oh, I want to try. How's this:

 

"Beautiful doors reveal an empty home."

[Graeme]

The victor: Outwardly trimuphant, inwardly alone.

[Benji]

The victor: Outwardly trimuphant, inwardly alone.

 

We strove, crashed burned and died

[Dolores Esteban]

Rumors spread and sealed my fate.

[ashessnow]

everyone tried to be too grave i think. lots of death. lots of lost love.

Well, I mean, I didnt try to be melodramatic or anything. At least for me it was along the lines of the first thing I thought of, which someone had already taken. So instead I changed it, and I like it a lot better. I mean really:

 

Please. Tell me you love me?

 

I love it.

[captainrick]

"Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn."

 

oh wait... that's already been used somewhere

[MikkiBlue]

Sleep, dream, angel, love, awake, feathers

[Cynical Romantic]

I think Corvus nailed it. A story, not just a moral of a story or a summary of a story, but a real story in 6 words. Damn, this is a tough exercise!

 

My attempt is inspired by a true story, witnessed in a Venice canal:

 

Dead rat, beer bottle, used condom.

 

(Yeah, I'm not sure I want to imagine that one either... )

[J_Ross]

Help, I have lost myself again.

[Mark Arbour]

f**K me, love me, hurt me

 

OK, I'm in a shitty mood today.

[Boy In Doubt]

Gwen found love, angel, music, baby

 

(Hope your day gets better Mark)

[Mark Arbour]

Gwen found love, angel, music, baby

 

(Hope your day gets better Mark)

 

Thanks. It just did.

[Dolores Esteban]

At dawn a comet exploded. Armageddon.

[Dion]

I think Hemingway did it best, but I'll give it a shot.

 

"Christmas dawned on an empty house."

 

 

 

 

 

Bleh.

[Boy In Doubt]

"He left, he cried. I giggled." (No, I'm not THAT evil but I couldn't think of anything else)

[glomph]

Caesar told his story in three words:

 

Veni, vidi, vici.

 

Of course Latin is much more succinct than English.

 

Which reminds me of one of the most famous bad puns of all time. When the British general commanding forces in India had conquered Sindh, he sent the one-word message "Peccavi," which is Latin for "I have sinned."

[Kanaye]

This is mine, it just leaped into my head.

 

"My son, gay?!" Tossed out. Forgotten.

[Former Member]

So i went looking around for movie lines with 6 words and found

 

[KJames]

"I hate when he does that." -- Anakin Skywalker (The future Darth Vader), speaking about his master, Obi Wan Kenobi, after he jumped out of a window to pursue an assassin sent to kill Senator Amidala in the most next to recent Star Wars movie.
