"Quickly, before we're discovered!" "Too late."

After a couple of days sans reliable internet access, I return not with the post of delicious links I had planned, also not with a description of the feeling I had this afternoon of living inside a zen koan because I've forgotten by now what inspired it which if you think about it is sort of a zen koan in itself, but a proposal inspired by a Wired article of six-word stories by sf/f writers linked from Neil Gaiman's blog. The idea of a six-word story! I am ravished! I want you to write me a six-word story! And in return, I will write you one. Please? Pretty please, with a cherry on top?

Oh yeah, my wad was actually a quotation:

I came, I saw, I conquered.

Lola also mentions sixlittlewords. It's fun!

(That was six, right?)
