These don't really strike me as stories... more like something you'd read on the back cover to grab your attention.

I suppose, in the strictest sense they are in that they have a plot and characters, but they lack depth/drama/conflict/etc. Oh, well.

Here's my contribution: By the most-basic of storytelling principles, and 50 chums, Steampunk won his wager.

These sentences don't really tell a story, they imply one.

I think stuff like this is brilliant, it's sort of like how poetry sums up strong emotions and vibrant imagery in just a few eloquently chosen words.

I wrote a number of six-words long stories about a year ago. Here's a couple of the one sentence ones:

She entered the world a murderer.

If I?m lying, may God strike

How many kidneys do I... oops.

?Please, honey, put the plane down.?

?Will Mommy stay dead this time??

Those were really good.

And I like your avatar. Cynic is a great band.

Never done this before, let's try this...

"I love you" was all he ever wanted to say, but no one would ever hear his words.

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

here's mine.
-He went to a far away land learn only to learn and observe, he never counted on falling in love, and he most certainly never thought he would see her again...but he did.-

These aren't stories these are just sentences relative to stories. someone will argue against it but this isn't what I regard a story.

 

[Riobux]

Some things were never to be, some things were doomed from the start, however at least he could have the satisfaction of making it right; with a bullet.

 

[Gudrests]

The man might of had aids, the dogs life was never the same, and she was done with him after that incident.

:O only 1 thing comes to mind...you sir get +5 internets if its not what im thinking...and -10 if it is...thats grosss!!!

What? the man might of had aids, lied to the girl he liked, they had sex, she figured it out, dumped his ass.....then he was so mad he ran over her dogs foot. (he thankfully didn't but still.)

:O omfg...wow...i feel bad....ive been on the internet too long..i thought...well..he had aids..and ..what would scar a dog for life...and yeah...... you sir get +10 internets...i am sorry

Hey this looks kind of fun. Let's see what I can think of...

"The man thought he saw her figure for a fleeting moment, the figure of the only girl the he ever had loved, and as he rushed towards her he knew he would never catch her."

 

[neilsaccount]

"There's two kinds of people in life", he frowned while drawing his gun from the holster, "those that dig and those that hold a gun".

You have good taste when it comes to plagarising.

Blondiiiieeee!!
Here is my attempt at storytelling. "Reginald first thought that he could play the violin, but then realized that he could not." The end. Pulitzer prize please and thanks.

Once upon a time, there was a happpy little sausage called Baldrick.

Cookie for reference.

But anyway: He had launched himself into an abyss of dispair, looking for something that he had never known.

Ha, that actually sounds like something I would write during class.

 

[Iron Criterion]

Frantically he fumbled the key into the lock, and as it slipped from his hands into the cold dark abyss he knew his chance was lost forever.

 

[Chromwell]

"It's very simple, doctor," he stammered to the psychiatrist as he tried fruitlessly to contain his laughter, "one cannot kill that which is already dead!"

"Baby shoes for sale: never worn."

Alright I've been trying to figure this one out. What? ok that means to me the same thing as "Old man tube socks for sale: never worn." Am I missing something? I'm gonna guess 'yes'

 

[Littlee300]

The story is entirely implied, meaning the reader fills in the blanks to create the beginning, middle and end.

From the sentence, we kow someone, a reason came up for someone to buy baby shoes. Later they found they no longer needed them and they were never got to be used. They decide to sell them on. It is up to the reader to figure out what the baby shoes were for and why they were never used. Most people come to a morbid conclusion.

Try to create a sentence like that; implying the story rather than just telling it. Taking time into consideration is important, showing that there is a past, present and future to the story.

Interesting. To me I just thought of a clothing store selling new shoes for babies.
