I like writing six word stories*. It has almost nothing to do with the history of it (Google it if you don't know*) and more to do with the fact that it is one of the best writing block unblocking technique that I've come up with. It's good inspiration, as a general rule. It is also a great way to practice story telling: if you can tell a story with six words, nothing is stopping you from using sixty, six hundred, or six hundred thousand. And above all of that: it's a great way to bend your ability to its limits. These are the ones I've written in the last couple of weeks.
A Story in Six Words
#1-#6
גיליתי מי אני כשחיפשתי מישהו אחר.
ידעתי מה אני מחפשת כשאבדתי לך.
לא ידעתי איך להסביר לך הכל.
בבת אחת לא היה שום דבר.
אהבתי אותך בכל זאת. לא עכשיו.
משהו השתנה בבת אחת לאט לאט.
#7-#12
I remember that before I couldn't.
I was yours, so I wasn't.
Since when is this your fun?
He was not the only man.
There's so much hate in love.
I have never been in love.
#13-#18
Unlucky couple found four-leaf clover.
Your house - literally built on lies.
Care and trust go together. Usually.
It all started with a woman.
We all danced to his rhythm.
I had one dream. Your ruin.
#19-#24
יש סיבה לכך שעיני השמאלית חסרה.
אם נתת לי אהבה, היית מקבלת.
התמכרתי למשהו שלא מותר להתמכר אליו.
כתבתי שיר אהבה שמישהו אחר שר.
כל הקטע הזה של גופים מבלבל.
זה לא אני שעובר משבר זהות.
#25-30
*I like writing six word stories.
*Google it if you don't know.
With words, nothing can stop you.
My mouth's the reason for this.
Your precious pen cannot save you!
Your fate is to lose faith.
