Six Words

Inspired by Hemingway's heart wrenching six-word short story ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn."), Wired Magazine asked writers/novelists/editors to write a six-word very short story. Here are some of my favorites:

Longed for him. Got him. Shit.
- Margaret Atwood

Tick tock tick tock tick tick.
- Neal Stephenson

Three to Iraq. One came back.
- Graeme Gibson

I saw, darling, but do lie.
- Orson Scott Card

Steve ignores editor's word limit and
- Steven Meretzky

Here's mine:

Drained. Destroyed. Dead. All hope's gone.
