Dozens of short pieces with the exact same title? Not a coincidence. Each of the talented writers you'll meet inside (and many others who didn't make the cut) were asked to write a six-sentence story called "The Green Bike." No rules - just a title and a length. The best of the bunch are collected here - in six parts of course, along with the $100 prizewinning story by Josh Olsen - all for your enjoyment. A truly excellent read, and a must-have for any fan of the "Six Sentences" website.… (more)

This small book features 80 pages of stories, each told in exactly six sentences, all of them titled "The Green Bike." My own story is included (#39). There were no other parameters. It's amazing to see the diversity when every story has the exact same title and length restrictions. Many mention tragic bicycles accidents. A few are experimental in nature. Others aren't about an actual bike, but use it as a prompt for the name of a pub or some other subject. Some are quite profound, and briefly so. Almost all of the stories fit on a single page. ( )
