New in Wired: Very Short Stories. After mentioning Hemingway's classic six-word story. Wired asked a raft of writers from different fields to contribute their own short-short story. William Shatner, Neil Gaiman, Kevin Smith, Stephen King, Margaret Atwood, Stan Lee, Gregory Maguire, Frank Miller, and many more answered the call, some more than once. My favorites:

Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so.
- Joss Whedon

Dinosaurs return. Want their oil back.
- David Brin

Machine. Unexpectedly, I’d invented a time
- Alan Moore

The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly.
- Orson Scott Card
