Caraccioli Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I saw this and thought some of it was pretty funny. Wired magazine asked a bunch of sci-fi writers to write a six word story. My favorite? "The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly." - Orson Scott Card You can see them all here: Wired 6 Word Sci-Fi. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
