I’ve known about these for several days, but just managed to get around to posting about them. In the vein of the famous Hemingway six-word story (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”), Wired asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to give it a try. Here are my favorites:

• It cost too much, staying human.
  - Bruce Sterling
• Longed for him. Got him. Shit.
  - Margaret Atwood
• Epitaph: Foolish humans, never escaped Earth.
  - Vernor Vinge
• God to Earth: “Cry more, noobs!”
  - Marc Laidlaw
