SIX-WORDED SCI-FI

[ReaderPaul]

Janey appeared, beckoning them.  "Come on!"

[Ron]

@ReaderPaul Ha! That Janey knows how to start trouble. How do I know this? It's Sci-fi, there's always trouble.

Wut could go wrong? DON'T ASK!

 This seems fishier than science-fictionier. 

[ReaderPaul]

My cat shifts shape to dog.

 Unusual certainly but how does two statements separated by a comma describe your new pet? More authorship is needed from this classy author.

Ok, how about this:

My dog breathes fire when upset.

[Bill W]

And this: 

My cat hisses and spits acid.

This is a Sci-Fi project authors. Skip the usual like cats and dogs or gold fish (unless they’re from Zebulon 4 and you can get make that clear in six words). Reach out with your imaginations and go all top-of-your-science-class nerdy.

@W_L gave us a good play on the movie and character E.T.  I offered a pet with an odd name and an odd diet which tells us this pet is not of this world. These are examples of how science fiction can be playful and strange.

I encourage authors to be strange, imaginative, playful, dark, and just plain weird. Go for it!

It's not easy to describe an unseen pet in just six words, but let's see if this works. 

A gigantic scorpion that's pissed off.
