Very Short Stories

For those of you who did not read Wired Magazines article entiled Very Short Stories here is the link http://wired.com/wired/archive/14.11/sixwords.html  The idea is to write an interesting story using only 6 words.

Please feel free to have a go.

Below are some of my attempts.

                      Slipped. Ice broke. Life flashed. Bye

Hit iceberg.  Hull breached.  No lifeboats.

                      She came. I recovered.  She went.

Walked out. Slammed door. Alone again.

                      Poison!  He coughed blood. They laughed.
