Last month’s Wired magazine (which I just got around to) has an outstanding section called Very Short Stories. It’s based on Hemingway’s six word story which Papa called his best work. Here it is:

Brilliant! So Wired got 33 writers to come up with 6 word science fiction stories and some are just incredible.
Here are a few of my favorites:

By Eileen Gunn
Epitaph: Foolish humans, never escaped Earth.
By Vernor Vinge
Lie detector eyeglasses perfected: Civilization collapses
By Richard Powers
The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly.
By Orson Scott Card
