I came across a website a while back that intrigued me, it was an online competition for writers to submit their short stories with the chance at winning a cash prize. But these weren't regular short stories- each "short" story could only be one sentence in length.
It sounds kind of stupid, and it can be if you don't really think about it. But one sentence can truly be PACKED with meaning, and I think that was the point of this competition and others like it, to show how powerful just one simple sentence can be.
At any rate I was trying to look up others, there is one website but it's about "true one sentence stories" and while some of them are amusing, they are totally missing the point about being -powerful- or -moving- sentences.
Of course, I'm no writer, so perhaps I shouldn't be one to critisize, but at any rate I'd like to share extremely short stories, preferably one sentence but they can be more as long as it's no more than 15-20 characters, MAX. They can be fiction or non-fiction, but something that is just powerful or moving and that you can sit around and actually think about... a sentence(s) that invokes a story in your mind all on it's own. So if you have any to share, please leave your name and your shor story, and others leave comments if you like them! Here is mine:
FORCED to walk the plank, I CHOSE to dive gracefully.
Now let's hear yours!
