The short story, even shorter
Wired has a feature in its November issue on short short short fiction. Inspired by Hemingway, who wrote a six-word story (”For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”) that he’s said to have called his best work, they asked sci-fi writers and personalities to try their hands at the same feat.
Notable Canadian entries come from Atwood (”Longed for him. Got him. Shit.”) and Shatner (”Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket.”).
The online version of the story also includes 59 six-word tales that didn’t make it to print, including one from another Canadian, Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing, who spotted this link in the first place: “Batman Sues Batsignal: Demands Trademark Royalties.”
