Not content with trying to cram a whole story into 100 words, I’ve decided to have a go at Adam Ickes’ “Six on the Sixth” prompt. The idea is to write between one and ten six word stories. Adam provides prompt words, which we don’t need to use – it’s all quite flexible really.

It’s six words on the sixth of the month – and it’s the twelfth today! Will the madness never end? If it’s the twelfth, do I get twelve words? Just checking… no, apparently I don’t.

There is a link-up so you can read all the other contributions – just click on the little blue froggy below. It’s amazing what people manage to fit into just six words!

For my first go I’ve decided to use each of the six prompt words as themes for my stories. Here goes!

Weather
Picnic’s promise stolen by Heaven’s tears.

Fire
Blindfold damp with tears. “Ready, aim…”

Pain
A careless step. Toe meets wall.

Pleasure
Chocolate, strawberry and vanilla (with sprinkles).

Ink
Head to toe, the tattooed man.

Purple
Blue and red – a winning combination!
