Six-Word Stories

All of the stories in this collection are six words in length and are stories that I wrote and shared with other storytellers and visitors to SMITH Magazine which is the home of Six-Word Memoirs. Six-Word Memoirs are a form of Flash Fiction which is a style of fictional literature or fiction of extreme brevity. The most concise and widely-cited example of flash fiction is the story Ernest Hemingway penned, allegedly to settle a bar bet: “For sale: baby shoes. Never worn.” I hope you enjoy these short memoirs, most are from the imagination but others reflect daily life in all its pathos and glory.
