Q: Create a six word story. Try to hook your reader so they ask what? Why? How? Examples of this;

• ‘For sale: baby shoes, never worn.’ By Ernest Hemingway
• ‘Dad called: DNA back: he isn’t’ By Helen Fielding
• ‘Megan’s baby: John’s surname, Jim’s eyes’ By Simon Armitage

My attempts…

” ‘Student party Tuesday, get here!’

” ‘heard your call: come home soon’

” ‘You’re gay so? Come home son’

” ‘Lost her: taken from Kidderminster 10:15’

” ‘Cracked it! Quick phone Major Black…’

” ‘Held hostage…can see number…192.’

Liked this one even if I couldn’t get it below seven words; ‘Dog for sale: eats anything loves children’
