Tried this a few times before, but I suppose I'll give it another go:

Radio 4 (in the UK) did a similar competition where you had to write a saga in less than 50 words, about 20 years ago. If I take their winning entry, I can get it down to 8 words, but not 6.

That's good, though. Definitely in the spirit of the exercise, despite the extra word.

(I think a number of people have held competitions along those lines - I'm pretty sure Wired had a feature of six-word stories.)
