Welcome to tonight’s six word story!

Here’s how it works: Post your six word story in the comments below or post a six word story on your own blog and share a link to your six word story post in the comments.

Are you new to the six word story? If so, no worries. It’s exactly what it sounds like. A beginning, middle, and end of a story in exactly six words, not counting a title if you choose to use one. Which six words capture a story and help the reader imagine a lifetime, a struggle, an adventure, a triumph, a laugh?

What six word story will you share? If you are unsure about your writing skills, that’s okay. Give it a try anyway. This is a safe space to try something new. Let’s see what you’ve got!

Here’s tonight’s six word story: When smoke dances, the soul’s afire.
