One sentence to tell a story Posted: 12 months ago by pocksucket
Anonymously submitted stories, each no longer than one sentence. From the banal (I recently had some Beefaroni that was completely devoid of beef) to the poetically sad (He would kiss my forehead and move my hair from my eyes in a way that will be forever with me even though he is gone.) to the depressing (I went to the doctor to find out why I had cold that wouldn't go away and a cut that wouldn't stop bleeding, and I left with several appointments for chemotherapy.)
Actually, a lot of them are sad. Maybe multiple sentence structure is the true secret of happiness

This Is the Title of This Story, Which Is Also Found Several Times in the Story Itself Posted: 2 years ago by imnotyoo
"This is the first sentence of this story. This is the second sentence. This is the title of this story, which is also found several times in the story itself. This sentence is questioning the intrinsic value of the first two sentences. This sentence is to inform you, in case you haven't already realized it, that this is a self-referential story, that is, a story containing sentences that refer to their own structure and function. This is a sentence that provides an ending to the first paragraph . . ."
