From the November issue of
Wired
Magazine We'll be brief: 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. So we asked sci-fi,
fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and
games to take a shot themselves.
Dozens of our favorite
auteurs put their words to paper, and five master graphic designers took
them to the drawing board. Sure, Arthur C. Clarke refused to trim his
("God said, 'Cancel Program GENESIS.' The universe ceased to exist."),
but the rest are concise masterpieces.
