six word short stories

Here are a few. 'Lost keys. New start found.' This story implies that losing keys led to a new opportunity or a new chapter in someone's life. Another could be 'Met her. Heart still flutters.' which simply shows that meeting a particular person had a lasting impact on the narrator's emotions.

Keep it simple. Focus on one key moment or emotion. For example, 'Love lost. World turned gray.' Just capture that essence.

They are concise. For example, 'Bought dress. It had pockets.' Just six words but it's funny because having pockets in a dress is a small but delightful surprise.

Begin with a character or a situation. For instance, 'The child cried. No one noticed. This shows that you can quickly set up a scenario that implies a lot more than what's on the surface in just six words.

Just focus on one moment. For example, 'Sunset. Peace. End of day.' Capture a single emotion or event in six words.

Love lost, hope found anew.

Sure. 'Dog ate homework. Teacher smiled.'
