Looking For Something
The awkward pelican dives
from so far up there from somewhere close to the moon wings spread straight down with purpose determination and such blazing speed like a comet falls into the sea watching him (I am) with childlike wonder and awe (I am) afraid his little neck will break at the moment of actual impact For such an aching hunger dive, he must he is not brave his life simply depends on it Rising back up from the sea he longs to feel just a little something in his throat that will justify risking everything for one more time |

New Challenge: write a story in 6-words or less
Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words:
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn" and is said to have called it his best work. Here are some from some favorite authors & auteurs. Knowing all of you, I would bet that each of you could equal or surpass them. Mine-no classic but tells a tale: Failed orgasm. Electricity out. Batteries instead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vacuum collision. Orbits diverge. Farewell, love. - David Brin Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so. - Joss Whedon Automobile warranty expires. So does engine. - Stan Lee Machine. Unexpectedly, I’d invented a time - Alan Moore Longed for him. Got him. Shit. - Margaret Atwood His penis snapped off; he’s pregnant! - Rudy Rucker From torched skyscrapers, men grew wings. - Gregory Maguire Internet “wakes up?” Ridicu - no carrier. - Charles Stross With bloody hands, I say good-bye. - Frank Miller Wasted day. Wasted life. Dessert, please. - Steven Meretzky “Cellar?” “Gate to, uh … hell, actually.” - Ronald D. Moore Epitaph: Foolish humans, never escaped Earth. - Vernor Vinge It cost too much, staying human. - Bruce Sterling We kissed. She melted. Mop please! - James Patrick Kelly It’s behind you! Hurry before it - Rockne S. O’Bannon I’m your future, child. Don’t cry. - Stephen Baxter Lie detector eyeglasses perfected: Civilization collapses. - Richard Powers I’m dead. I’ve missed you. Kiss … ? - Neil Gaiman The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly. - Orson Scott Card Kirby had never eaten toes before. - Kevin Smith Rained, rained, rained, and never stopped. - Howard Waldrop To save humankind he died again. - Ben Bova We went solar; sun went nova. - Ken MacLeod Husband, transgenic mistress; wife: “You cow!” - Paul Di Filippo “I couldn’t believe she’d shoot me.” - Howard Chaykin Don’t marry her. Buy a house. - Stephen R. Donaldson

Suddenly, she quickly yet slowly opened the car window, inhaling...then exhaling, then inhaling........then exhaling again, the crisp but freakishly muggy foggy air that covered the light fading into bright blue sky.
The random livestock meandering somewhat haphazardly directly accross the paved and gravelly road, boardered on both sides by deep and shallow ditches, were over grown, jacked up on steroids and looking for a fight. Between the smell of farmer's fields, sidewalk commando livestock and a "new car scent" air freshener hanging from the cigarette lighter knob of her 1978 Gremlin, she knew she was home!
