fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and
games to take a shot themselves.</DIV><BR /> Dozens of our favorite

them to the drawing board. Sure, Arthur C. Clarke refused to trim his
("God said, 'Cancel Program GENESIS.' The universe ceased to exist."),
but the rest are concise masterpieces.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wired.com/culture/design/multimedia/2006/11/sixwords"><DIV>For the complete text,
