I just ran across these at Wired. They had a bunch of different authors write a story... in 6 words. Most of them are bizarre, and some are brilliant. Some of my favorites:

Cryonics: Disney thawed. Mickey gnawed. Omigawd.
- Eileen Gunn

Wasted day. Wasted life. Dessert, please.
- Steven Meretzky

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

“Cellar?” “Gate to, uh … hell, actually.”
- Ronald D. Moore
