i was tagged by jay to write a story in six words. here it goes:
went outside. found love. lost keys.
there. its a love story. who to tag? hmm, i tag trying to follow (this is my payment for the idea i’m stealing:), jrnywmn, eric stoller, nine pearls, sly civilian, and deviousdiva
middle zone musings is hosting a contest for the best six word story. and has some good stories up for inspiration
UPDATE: i’m removing the link to middle zone musings because apparently they deem stories about trans bodies to be unacceptable. which makes me wonder if my story is acceptable seeing as to how i am trans and the love i speak of is clearly within a Queer context. the claim that the story is unacceptable because it isn’t g-rated is seriously weak. baseless weak. spit coffee on my computer screen weak. in no way is talking about our bodies or our gender pornographic. how many family sitcom episodes have we seen where “cisgendered” kids made comments about their “private parts”, often comparing them to those of “the opposite sex.” bigotry, though thinly veiled, can be quite blinding. for more, check out jay’s response.

Love it !
Wonderful and sad at the same time.
I will try….
new site address, love your story
Mine is done.
In solidarity, I will post my six word story here instead of over there.
“Voice louder than before, fierce love”
Someone just came over via this post and I stopped by to check it again. Thanks for tagging me way back, I thoroughly enjoyed the mem. And I discovered some cool micro-fiction on the way.
peace.
