SF flash fiction

Posted on October 25, 2006 Written by Diane

Via the Smart Bitches, we have a whole host of SF writers attempting complete SF stories in six words.

A few of my favorites:

Leia: “Baby’s yours.” Luke: “Bad news…”
– Steven Meretzky

Weeping, Bush misheard Cheney’s deathbed advice.
– Gregory Maguire

Machine. Unexpectedly, I’d invented a time
– Alan Moore

That’s “science fiction,” not “San Francisco,” by the way.
