Wired Magazine performed an interesting experiment, inspired by Ernest Hemmingway. The author claimed thatone of his best works was a very very short story - six words. "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." So they decided to ask science fiction, horror, and fantasy writers to give the six-word story their take. Among those they asked were Star Trek alumni William Shatner and Ronald D. Moore. Click on through to read their stories.
Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket. William Shatner
"Cellar?"" "Gate to, uh … hell, actually." Ronald D. Moore
Also a number of notable science fiction authors lent their prose to the experiment.
Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so. Joss Whedon
With bloody hands, I say good-bye. Frank Miller
The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly. Orson Scott Card
