I'm not sure? But that would be an awesome title though.

I've never understood the appeal in six word stories.

They're a nice way to speak one's mind in as little words possible.

But how much of one's mind though?

Depends on the subject and that person's mind at the moment.

That's a valid SWS, and a good one to bout.

Of course it's a good six word story. It doesn't require much skill to create.
One theme, one thought and only six words. It's easy to make and is very limited in what it provides.

True, yet it can be open to interpretation, thus making them interesting.

I agree. They can inspire thought as well as any poem or piece of prose can. However, I find poems and prose to deliver it in a far better way.
SWS, as you call them, only provide the skeleton as it's very limited in what it can provide. But I've learned that just stating things is seldom enough. Often times you need to address it in a way that people wouldn't expect it and that forces their attention. Can a six word story do that in only six words?

Depends on how specific the SWS is, or not.
I agree though, poems and prose have much more potential to go in depth and specific.

Do you have any examples as to more symbolic and non-specific SWS?

Not at the moment no, I hardly ever venture into SWS territory.

So why make three of them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because I had the sudden urge to.

Odd, but very well.
