A complete story in six words.

"How'd he die?" 

"Forgot to duck."

I feel a little ridiculous for being critiquing a six word story but hey, what needs to happen needs to happen right?
I applaud you on a plot. I mean really, every story needs a beginning and end and a plot all in a story? Well, even in six words I admire the way you pulled that off. The cliffhanger is a nice add too, and I know that it's only six words but those six words leave a lot to ponder!!! I mean, think of all the worlds that this could open for desperate writers!! =]
As much as I thought this idea was very creative and it totally made me laugh (I don't know if it was supposed to be funny...) I have one problem. Characters. "He" can be anybody in the world and I think that's what bothers me. I think he needs a name, otherwise I might go OCD on you and the world will end =] Of course, if you have reasoning behind that then I'd love to discuss that with you, but really I feel like a name could add something to it.
Diction and style is wonderful enough for being so short, and I thought this was a neat idea =] Brava!

I take back everything I said about the name. It's the title. Haaaa I feel like an idiot xD

Awesome! I generally avoid stories, short little attention span. I'm a poet. I tend to tell the story in few words :)

This one is great!!!!
