Well, is July a six word story month? I am finding so many of them today and all are so descriptive, unique and extraordinary in themselves! :)

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

It's a contest...just for laughs :)

[Shivam Murari]

Really? Where?

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

On the contests page...they always run contests. Different things...

[Shivam Murari]

Ok!!!!.... :)

Wow amazing. Just recently, I came across Knock by Frederick Brown. He begins his short story by describing the shortest story that exists (two lines long, as written below).
"The last man on earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door..."
Your piece reminds me of these two lines. So cleverly concise, Love it!

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Thank you...it was for a challenge. I'm not really good at this sort of thing, I usually need A LOT more words. I'm glad you liked it, though! *humbled*

I just came from Jacob's page and read one from him like this kind of thing : Six Word Short Story. Now, I understand.

Metaphors, Oh how I love metaphors. Such beauty to let the poet weaves words so creatively, such challenge for the readers to think outside the box.

I liked the story --very much, Sarah.

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Aaww...it was just a goof. Not really my "style", I write poetry, and usually it's long winded. Thank you, though. If you like metaphors, be careful you might get lost on my page because I have been accused of over using them... :)

[Belle]

No worry about the metaphors, I myself is guilty of exploiting the beauty of the term.

[Horizon K.]

Lol... Poets love metaphors, sometimes too much, but there's always room for more irony, or maybe it's just me that can't get enough... Very fun Sarah:)

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Yeah, I'm a lover of the metaphor, I'll admitt it freely... :)

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Your metaphors are untouchable, for they are into the next level (DOT).
Sorry love, couldn't resist... fantastic ;-) and you know why!

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

haha...thank you, Elisa!

LOL, if I would take part of the contest, my line would be: " I hate six words contests" but that's me... urgh, I suck. :)

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

I suck too...I just felt like being ironic...haha

That is the way we are, love.... we suck and we are ironic, and sarcastic LOL hahahaha *winkies from over seas* x

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Did I told you you are too? ;) ha!
