6 Six Word Stories for the 6th

It’s been ages, since I last did this so I decided it was time once again for another exciting instalment of ‘6 Six Word Stories for the 6th.’

I used to only do this whenever the 6th fell on a Sunday but now… I think I’ll just do it whenever I feel like, and I feel like it today.

You probably know the rules by now. I roll some Story Dice and I write a six word story loosely based upon whatever image is displayed on each die, starting from the top left. I’m using a different app to last time (you can find it at davebirss.com), which gives you nine dice instead of six, so I’ve just selected the six ones I found the most inspirational (I’ve crossed out the ones I didn’t use).

As ever, the following stories are entirely my own work.

  • The alien aggressors came from Earth.
  • She had company when I returned.
  • Drilled through a cable. Lights out.
  • Ascending corporate ladder, bones crunch underfoot.
  • Story idea! Lost notepad. Forgot it…
  • Pencil strokes paper. Detective Mo lives.

Well, that was fun, but I know you can do better than me. Why not have a whack at writing your own six word stories and share them in the comments below, so we can all see how it’s really done?
