in brief

wired magazine has a neat feature: six-word short stories. my favorite five:

I’m your future, child. Don’t cry.
- Stephen Baxter

The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly.
- Orson Scott Card

“I couldn’t believe she’d shoot me.”
- Howard Chaykin

It’s behind you! Hurry before it
- Rockne S. O’Bannon

Rained, rained, rained, and never stopped.
- Howard Waldrop


PS: the wired story also references Hemingway's famous short short story, which i had never read before. it breaks my heart.

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
