Shortest story ever written?

[p_p_man]

Some years ago a national UK newspaper challenged top worldwide authors to write the shortest story ever. This was the winning entry...

I opened up the newspaper and there it was 'FOR SALE: baby's bootees. Unused'

Any shorter ones?

once upon a time....

The End.

 

[Juspar Emvan]

Ooo, that's cool. The mystery, the unanswered questions. I like

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Sure, this one....

Who, what, when, where, and how?

The ultimate short story.

Non-journalist fucks.

It needs sex, mystery, royalty & strong language:


"Fuck," said the Princess, "I'm pregnant. I wonder who the father is?"

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

Had A Little Doll.
Stuck It On The Wall.
That's All.

 

[Nicole]

Had A Little Doll.
Stuck It On The Wall.
That's All.

Well Done RudeNastyAssBitch, your story had a Begining, a middle and an end, it kept me intrigued and yet left me wondering.

I give it *****

"I came. I saw. I conquered."

Then, of course, there was the inevitable sequel...

"I came again. I saw again. I conquered again. But this time I had an adorable babe sidekick who taught me humanity."

 

[Renegade]

"I came again. I saw again. I conquered again. But this time I had an adorable babe sidekick who taught me humanity."

*sniff* That brought a tear to my eye. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to by the action figures. What a riveting tail. Bravo! Bravo!! Bravo!!! But, I still think the original was better. lol

I just sold the film rights. They signed Steven Segal and changed the title to: "I came. I saw. I shot everyone with an uzi."

 

[Renegade]

Sounds like a future canidate for TNT's "Movies for guys that like movies" line-up.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

No. It's too cerebral. There's a scene where a guy is like, reading.

A book?


It'll never fly...

 

[Renegade]

Someone's actualy reading in the movie? Must not be Segal. Unless they want the audience to REALLY suspend their disbelief.

Ambros

It will if you strap it to a bottle rocket.

 

[Ambrosious]

That would be cool

Then the bottle rocket could come down on an innocent family, travelling through a mountain resort area in an old beat up station wagon. When the bottle rocket lands on the windshield, it causes Dad to lose control. The car flies off the side of the mountain at 100 mph and explodes in mid air, before crashing at the bottom of a 2.3 mile ravine!

I would watch that...

 

[MinkSoul]

I would watch that...

only if they did it in slow motion...

 

[Renegade]

Eh

I'll wait for it to come out on DVD. Then I can listen to the directors commentary. Yep, listen to the rants of a mad man. LOL

There is a story by Forrest J. Ackerman called 'The Shortest SF Story Ever Told'. It consists of three words and one letter.

I'd copy it here, but old Forry's a bit litigious.....

 

[Cum on her chest]

Short story:

They lived then died

 

[Kuddles]

I lived, I loved, I laughed
then...
I cried, I hated, I died.

 

[Ambrosious]

Fuck off, you bastard...


That one line contains everything you need for a good story.

Doesn't it?

 

[R Nitelight]

Two Words.........

You Bastard!!!!

 

[Ambrosious]

Nitelight

Oh, how I love the classics...
