Wired (a great magazine) gives us Very Short Stories:  We’ll be brief: Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”) and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves.

A sampling:

Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so.
– Joss Whedon

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

Lie detector eyeglasses perfected: Civilization collapses.
– Richard Powers
