Yeah, that's been going around for some time. There are actually quite a few of these. Six sentence stories, 100-word stories, etc.

Things have been crazy here in Middle Earth.

There was a war. Lots of people and orcs and things got killed.

Some midgets and their friends chickened out and fled. They claimed they had to go off and destroy a ring.

Yeah. Right.

The noise died down, the fires got put out, we buried the bodies and repaired the damage to our homes and businesses.

Those ring-destroying heroes? Too hoity-toity for honest hard work.

They said “We’re sailing off to the West.”

Yeah, we got stuck building the boats. Them walking trees really yell when you mill them for planks.


Some of these are clever I suppose, but hell, if you're going to go that route, why the hell not learn how to write poetry instead?
