on pluto, nobody knows the truth
Riffing on Hemingway's famous six-word story ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn."), Wired collected six-word science fiction plots from 33 writers and 5 designers. The web has a bunch of stories that weren't included in the print edition. I think my favorite didn't make the cut because it was only five words:
Heaven falls. Details at eleven.
- Robert Jordan
These two are also great:
From torched skyscrapers, men grew wings.
- Gregory Maguire
Longed for him. Got him. Shit.
- Margaret Atwood
