Seks ord lange historier

Post by Lothair Mantelar »

Jeg kom over en link til et Wire-magazin da jeg leste Gaimans blogg. Den omhandlet en konkurranse der en forlegger har fått kjente fantasy og sci-fi forfattere til å skrive seks ord lange historier - inspirert av Hemingways beste historie:

Kun seks ord. (Men tegnsettingen er opp til dere)

Helst på norsk, eller et annet nordisk språk (da dette forumet aspirerer til å være Nordens største fantasyforum :P )

Jeg må si deg noe viktig...

Fin, blank is! Stygge, røde beinbrudd
-Lotta

Dragen! Shai'tan! Skaperen! Et tidshjul! Evigvarende!
-Lotta

Jeg ser gjerne at dere kommenterer hverandres innlegg, men følg gjerne Wolfie's eksempel og post et forslag selv. Akkurat som i quiz-tråden :P

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn"
Wow. Beviset på at ingen av dagens forfattere kan måle seg med Papa. Alt annet blir bare bleke kopier.

Likevel:

"Kniven skar seg gjennom håndbaken hennes."
- Terje

"To personer inn, en person ut."
- Terje

"Skarpretterens øks falt tungt i natten."
- Terje

Meh. Alt for flertydige og vage. Ingen måler seg med Papas.

Nei, ingen i den lista, inklusive The Master, kunne måle seg med den opprinnelege.

Men kven vil no fatte seg i kortheit når ein kan kose seg med hundrevis av sider?

Får vel forsøke eg òg:

Joss Whedon er min meister no.

Jeg syntes denne var ganske bra:

What's the baby's bloodtype? Human, mostly.

Ellers:

For gammel til å bli konge
- Lotta

Kaboom. Jorden. Mennesker. Helvete. Kaboom
- Lotta

- Så hoppet hun englene i møte.

- De to levde lykkelige hele livet.
(historien ingen gidder å høre)

- Menneskemengden så håndvesken knuses under toghjulene.

Jøss.. Jeg følte meg nesten litt poetisk idag.. Hum. Oi. Først nå la jeg merke til at den første og siste egentlig er samme historie..
