Some of you have done a bit of writing. How is this for concise?

Hmmm . . . a six word story with a BadMovies.org theme . . .
OK, here goes.
People died. Zombies Rose. Chaos Ensued.
Saucers soared serenely. Intent unknown. Caution!
Togas, armor, loincloths. Historic accuracy doubtful.
I think this is a hilarious idea and I'd love to see some more. Would it help get the creative juices flowing if we asked people to contribute movies they'd like to see summaries of in 6 words?
For example: "Mary Poppins"
Go for it.

Way more than 6 words, but Richard Brautigan really did submit and get published this short story in the early '60's, waaayyy before computerized brevity:
"It's very difficult to live next door to someone who's learning to play the cello", she said as she handed the police the revolver.
I forget the title, but I've never forgotten the story. Brautigan is still a favorite author of mine.

the late, great Forrest J. Ackerman claims to have written the shortest science fiction story ever:
Cosmic Report Card: Earth

How about a vampire story:
Coffin unearthed - virgins pale. Dracula rises.
tennesse tuxedo eats chilly willy buuurp
James Bond.
Guns, girls, gadgets, catchy theme tune.
The original six word story is probably the best...forget who wrote it (Hemingway maybe?)
"For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn."
It was Hemmingway.

Amazing how many stories could be made with just those two words, a new title and changing the punctuation.
A mystery:
OH GOD!!! Oh, oh, oh! God!
A theological treatise:
"God? Oh, God?!? GOD!!!"
"Oh?" God.

Ho, Dog! HO, DOG!!! HO! DOG!!!
