SIX SENTENCES!
SIX SENTENCES!
My Language Arts Teacher gave us an assignment to write a powerful story in six sentences. Mine isn't quite done yet, but it originated with this one guy who made a bet with someone else that he could write a powerful story with only SIX WORDS! This is how it went:
For sale.
Baby shoes.
Never worn.
Its so sad! Any how, I was wondering what inkwell could come up with. Remember, six sentences, no more, no less, and "The End" Is NOT a sentence.

All right... Here goes...
She dances across the room and takes the single rose. It withers in her hand. She looks down at him as he senses her disapproval. "I just thought you were the one..." he starts and lets the sentence linger in the air. But her answer is clearly no. So he moves on. Sort of...

Here's my attempt.
A small, lost child wanders through unfamiliar streets, crying "Mama? Mama!!" At the police station, the frantic mother begs for help. They send patrol cars. However, their search is futile.The child wanders farther and farther. In the shadows of an abandoned warehouse, a masked man waits.
Well, hope you like it!!

Mattie, that is seriously disturbing. Seriously. Good, though.

Wow. OK. Sure:
The girl walked through the graveyard, a girl of fifteen, with a face as pale as the moon and eyes as dark as the night. She stood by a weathered headstone, then knelt, eyes closed in a pain only she could feel. The headstone read: Frederick and Edith Nerouin, 1971-2010 and 1974-2010. The girl reached out to touch the cold granite. "Mother, Father... I'm so sorry... for all the pain I caused you."
But there was no response.

Great idea! Okay, I'm topping this. And I'll be working on my six sentences! By the way, why don't we give out a virtual prize to anyone who writes a powerful (or if that's too hard, then just a good) six WORD story, okay? TOP!

The volcanic ash overcame the weepers.

They were once in love, back in the days she was beautiful. But beauty cannot last forever. It was thought that they would be together forever. As time went on, she became ugly. And as it turns out, he never saw any more in her than her looks. Since then, she has wandered the earth, waiflike, never trusting anyone.

oohh. Cool. I did a bunch, but I'll only do one.
The doctors worked fast. The same thought was going through their heads- Will it work? Finally they finished. The little girl stirred, she was waking up! She shreiked, and said,
"AHHH! It's so bright!Hehe. I like it."
The blind girl was seeing the world for the first time in her life.
And, it wasn't sad. OTher than the fact that she was blind.

Here's my six-word sentence: Artist hidden amongst the dreary suburbia.
Yes, it's talking about me and Nowheresville (my "hometown"). ;)
