SIX-WORDED SCI-FI

[Ron]

WIRED magazine came up with an idea for readers to submit a science fiction story in six words. They gave readers an assignment to base their stories on and then vetted the submissions. They list a winner and honorable mentions. I thought it might be fun to do that here, with the vetting being done by the members: All reactions will count. Keep in mind that you don't need Author statis to submit your story. I'll try to produce a new topic every couple of weeks, although, if you have a sci-fi idea and you'd like me to feature it PM me and I'll pop it up as we go.

Feel free to comment all you like but if you want to enter a story -- Enter your six-worded story alone in a post. Enter as often as you like. I'll start us out in my next post below.

Your assignment: Author a story about an alien in six words.

 

EDIT TO ADD: Each new assignment/topic/subject supersedes the one before it and becomes the focus for new exploration.

How about the usual alien film story line.
