A Six-Word story is simply that; a story of 6 word,s no more no less.
The idea came from Hemmingway, when he wrote, "For sale, baby shoes. Never used." He is said to have called it his finest work.
So basically you can be funny, express a deep moral, make sociopolitical insight, or even just describe a scene--but you have to use exactly 6 words.
Examples can be found here:

Here are some of mine too:
1) Even superheroes need to grieve sometimes.
2) From space, the world looks peaceful.
3) Epitaph: "No, no! The OTHER right!"
4) Earth goes on strike; feels abused.
I'll judge the winner based on what I think is best. Have fun!

Death came, and I floated away.
Death dragged me mercilessly from vivacity.
