Wow, some of those six words are good to start a really good story. Some are also very powerful. Very Very Powerful.
-
Haha, wow...I think I'd like to try this one day, perhaps when I have more than 10 minutes to do it XP I think I'll come up with a couple here, if you don't mind, in response to some of yours?
Responses to:
23: But now it spins all wrong
6: Eloquence is STILL a dead art
15: That human thinks he's all that
9: I'll eat you first fat b*stard
11: You really shouldn't kiss and tell.
Eh, these are all the time I've got for, so ciao ^^ -

I just realized that the title was number 1. I liked the grenade one the best. Funny stuff.
beginning: 4, language: 4, plot: 4, ending: 4, dialog: 4, characters: 4.

These were all very clever and witty. My favorites were number 15, 17 and 25. Good luck
-
hm
Number One is missing. Did you know that? Or was that your intentional numbering bit that you mentioned?
These are great. They're all VERY clever and I loved the horror/fantasy/scifi leanings. There were numerous favorites in here, so many that it'd be stupid to point them out.
I enjoyed reading these. Great job! -
-
Ha, yes, that is the intentional numbering bit.
Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for the contest! It really helped to get my mind back to focus on my writing.

So many good ones, you like cannibals? Were you hungry??
~Ebb,

Haha, I think I must have been hungry I didn't really even realize until I was reading back through them that so many had to do with eating, haha.
-
-
7, 10 and 25 made me laugh haha, Kiel I worry for your mind
and most of it is about eatnig 
were you hungry when you wrote this?
I loved 17 the best: ."Paradise," he crooned. The devil nodded.
It's... beautiful for its shortness
Great job, Kiel thanks for sharing these
