Short Short Short Stories

Here are some of my favourite short, short, short stories. Hope you enjoy them.

Hemingway once wrote a story (he claimed, the saddest story ever) in just six words and others have tried the six word story...
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn." - Hemingway
Computer, did we bring batteries? Computer? - Eileen Gunn
Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so.- Joss Whedon
Automobile warranty expires. So does engine.- Stan Lee
Longed for him. Got him. Shit.- Margaret Atwood
We kissed. She melted. Mop please!- James Patrick Kelly
It’s behind you! Hurry before it - Rockne S. O’Bannon
Husband, transgenic mistress; wife: "You cow!" - Paul Di Filippo
Easy. Just touch the match to - Ursula K. Le Guin
Bush told the truth. Hell froze. - William Gibson
Dorothy: "Fuck it, I'll stay here." - Steven Meretzky

Toto for now,
Nod
