"Steve"
Steve drove all night, thinking he was getting somewhere.
I'm quite delighted today to see the publication of my one-sentence story "Steve" (yes, that's it above, in its entirety), as illustrated on a Post-It Note by the cartoonist Arthur Jones. The premise is simple: write a one-sentence story, email it to Arthur, and he'll decide whether or not to illustrate it. As his illustrations tend to be more lighthearted in tone, I appreciate the dark edge he gave to mine. He did a great job.

I like the story and illustration, too. I actually counted the words. I'd love to see what you could come up with using six words. :)

Thanks, all...and, Brandon, I don't think I'm at all capable of fully expressing the emotional depth of my protagonist and exploring the narrative's weighty thematic implications without those three extra words.
