    I thought the same things as rae. when I read the one about love. I had to count it out... I like these, I just don't like the author notes. I figured the point of these was to tell a story in six words. By writing an author note explaining them, you're adding more to the story than just the six words. It doesn't let the reader think up their own story and it eliminates the reader from really thinking about any hidden meanings.

    "Love. What is it? Apparently nothing."

    When I first read it, I was like "This has gotta be more than six words," but then I counted it probably five times, and I was like, "wow it IS six words!" haha.
    It just seems like you got three coherent sentences to fit into six words, and that's really cool.

    Structure aside, I really like this. Lots of people have done their six-word stories about love, but most are obviously happy or sad.
    I sense a feeling of indifference in this though.

    Thanks for entering :)
