Dix Mots, take four..but leave one for me.

"Save me!" he sobs as the bunny nuzzles his arm.

Slowly, so slowly, he inches his hand toward his sword.

As she watches, the slime devours her friend, then turns...

With a triumphant rallying call, they charge into the darkness.

Falling upon his swift blade, the creature looks briefly shocked.

Calling upon the might of Thor, Tretten grabs his hammer.

Calling upon the might of kittens, George dies quite swiftly.

Not knowing what to say, the man simply stares, horrified.


I don't think I have exactly enough of what might work thus far, but it occurs to me that one could cobble together quite a few interesting stories centered around these various 10 word stories I find myself enjoying. I think that once I make a few more, at least, I could attempt to puzzle some of 'em together. At the very least it could be like a really bizarre mad libs.

Ten Words should probably actually involve ten words here, yes?

Feeling alone, his breath wafts lazily across the barren wind.

"Dear sweet monkey," he curses as he spits and dies.

I wonder...

Which is something I do quite frequently. The world is such a place of wondering. Anyway, I wonder if someone could write an entire story of decent length with the restriction of each sentence being exactly ten words. There is the addendum of semi-colons perhaps conjoining two ten word sentences, but otherwise...I didn't want to finish that sentence. I'm sure it can be done. I've noticed though that such sentences do not always lend themselves to super complexity, but they do quite feel like poetry at times, so perhaps the limited words adds a sort of lyrical, metered feel. Keen. Peachy keen even.
