5:35PM - My God you are so beautiful.

This month's issue of Wired had a number of Very Short Stories, of exactly six words each. The idea was inspired by what Ernest Hemingway considered to be his best story, though none of the ones submitted matched his for poignancy:

For sale: baby shoes, never worn.

Dr. Platypus has taken up the idea, and has a post summarising books of the Bible in six words each. There are still a few gaps, so go here and help him out. I contributed one on Joel:

Locusts! God’s Army! Then the Spirit.

I think it captures something of the book's ambiguity. Talking of which, the title of this post represents the Song of Solomon.
