Last year I wrote a blog post on "hint-fiction", stories of 25 words or less (Link). My favorite:
PEANUT BUTTER by Camille Esses
He was allergic. She pretended not to know.
My friend Nathan Cernosek, creator and talent behind the "Super Hero Grant Writer" series (Link) has clued me into Six-Word Stories (Link).
"William Faulkner famously said that a novelist is a failed short story writer, and a short story writer is a failed poet. Hemingway, with his creation of the six-word story, combined poetry and drama into a short form that has grown in popularity while remaining difficult to achieve. Narrative is looking for six-word stories that can stand alongside the best that have been written."
My favorite among this group:
Revenge is living well, without you.
—Joyce Carol Oates
