Found in [livejournal.com profile] literaryquotes:

Stories in six words
http://wired.com/wired/archive/14.11/sixwords.html
We'll be brief: Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves.

Some personal favorites:

From torched skyscrapers, men grew wings.
- Gregory Maguire

With bloody hands, I say good-bye.
- Frank Miller

It cost too much, staying human.
- Bruce Sterling

Kirby had never eaten toes before.
- Kevin Smith

Nevertheless, he tried a third time.
- James P. Blaylock

He read his obituary with confusion.
- Steven Meretzky
