Six word stories from Creative Expressions Class

In Creative Expressions class we start each day with an exercise to get us thinking creatively about the projects we are working on.  Our warm-up on Tuesday was "Six Word Stories".  Back in the day Ernest Hemingway was challenged to come up with a six-word story.  He thought, and replied "For Sale: Baby Shoes.  Never worn."

After talking about minimalism, style and being able to show our readers a certain feeling, here are some six word (give or take) stories that our campers came up with.


The dust-covered stuffed pony had a frayed tail and a missing eye.

Trash can. Stand strong. Class president.

Mirror reflections, Beautiful posture, Hidden Possibilities.

Jewels missing, Butler did it.

Long lost.  Never found. Calling home.

Nemo: Never gonna give you up

Alien.  Rescue.  Secret identity.  Power.  Hope.

In real life giraffes aren't spikey.
