Hi! I’ve been collecting words in what you might call random bits and bobs of various types of writing.

These are six-word stories I’ve written, over the course of the years.

See what you think!

A doll pinned, a heart attack.

A doll pinned, a man dies.

A doll pinned, millions are killed.

A doll pinned, a world explodes.

A world explodes, no one cares.

A world explodes, we all die.

I lived many years. Then died.

The politician died smothered in rhetoric.

Baby shoes for sale. Download here.

Eat healthy. Exercise daily. Die anyway.

Today I start to act. Really.

While I slept, the world changed.

I tried to change. And failed.

The window framed a gray day.

I thought it over. No way.

I’m here. And that’s enough, okay?

I shot him for his cannoli.

I grabbed a gun. Bang. Gone.

I cancelled the Czech. Got paid.
