Sixes and Sevens

I am often accused of being prolix
And this is something I intend to fix
By selecting a genre that limits
My stories to a measly word count of six!

Friends, countrymen, gentlemen and the odd lady
Please put your hands together immediately
For the newest beast in the city -
I proudly present The Six Word Story!


'Have money?'
'Yes'
'I love you.'

'I'm ill.'
'So?'
'I'm dying.'
'No!'

'Do you know my father?'
'Don't you?'

A long time ago, I died.

Boy met girl. She died. He cried. [Love Story]

'Wish you were here.'
'I don't.'

Note:
They're rather irritating to write and I don't have much time anyway.
Also, I can count. I know two of the above are seven words long. So hang me.

Irritating?
I guess they are fun. Not VERY origianl but rather fresh. Fun read, but I'd call them 'moments' rather than stories, except the formula love story suggestion!

'Robert?'

Sadly RF was hanged.. though he had this great ability of writing really nice poems even on the worst of topics :(

@the introvert

Should have had a better entry sequence..like James Bond styles entry music and all, and then nobody decides to hang RF. Only RF decides to be hanged himself.
something like..

"I'm Frust.....
Robert Frust!

Hang me."

;)
:D
