Happy Birthday, brenda!
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Not really. My sister and a friend are coming up on Friday night, and then we're going to Milwaukee on Saturday for a costume party at her local pub. It'll work.
At some point I'll have a nice birthday dinner, because work gave me a $100 gift cert that I plan to use here: [link]
Actually a very nice dinner, because I still have the one they gave me last year, too.
I'm in good mood today, largely because I spent some time rearranging my living room last night and, apart from somehow slicing open my thumb, I'm pretty pleased with the results.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Unsurprisingly, Alan Moore's is the most clever.

Oh, there's a bunch more 6-word stories at the link. Including a bunch that aren't in the print edition. The print version, OTOH, has a bunch of funky typesetting stuff for the stories.
And that bastard Clarke refused to make his story six words.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I particularly like Charlie Stross's, for the same reason Moore's is good: the play with narration.
