Another six worder for the Flash Fiction challenge. I must be on a six word roll.
So why am I depressed? That’s the million-dollar question, baby, the Tootsie Roll question; not even the owl knows the answer to that one. I don’t know either. All I know is the chronology.~Ned Vizzini, It’s Kind of a Funny Story
Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing.~August Wilson
A six word tale for the Flash Fiction challenge.
John my so called friend told me I couldn’t write a story. I told him he was a lie. This is how it went.
“You can’t write a story. What makes you think you can?”
“I bet I can. Why shouldn’t I?”
“You ever wrote a story? I mean a real story?”
“Well no…”
“See, I told you, you can’t do it.”
“Well, I can. You ever heard of Hemingway?”
“Yeah, he’s the guy who lived in Key West, didn’t he?”
“Well, yeah, theres that, but he wrote a book, too. A coupla books.”
“But you don’t live in Key West. Nobody from here ever wrote a book, not even a story.”
“But I know how to fish, and he wrote a book about a man and a boat and a fish.”
“What kinda fish?”
“I don’t know, a fish.”
“Well, didn’t the book say what kinda fish?”
“I don’t know, I saw it on TV.”
“See, you can’t write a story, you ain’t in Key West.”
“Well, I’ll move then dammit. Then write a story.”
“Go ahead!”
“I will!”
