Ernest Hemingway is reputed to have written a six-word story and called it his best work: "For sale: baby shoes. Never used." Recently Wired magazine invited science fiction writers to send in six-word stories. Now SJ Rozan offers the same challenge to crime writers. To submit: Send your story to: SIXWORDSTORY@AOL.COM. Include your name and, if you want, your url. Stories SJ finds appealing for whatever idiosyncratic reason will be posted here. Maybe there'll be a prize beyond the wonder of seeing your story in electronic print; maybe not. We'll think about it. Meanhwile, we're waiting...
