Writer's Block: Six-Word Story

Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” He is believed to have called it his greatest literary work ever. Can you write a story in six words?

If you haven't read The Nightingale Floor, you have no idea what I'm talking. So go and read it because it's really good.

On the bus getting home, I thought I should start this. So here goes.
Recently, I've been wondering why I only listen to Japanese music. So I turned on the radio... and I turned it off almost immediately. I won't say what the song was because I respect the fact that others might like it, but let me just say that I've heard it WAAAAAYYYYY too many times and I don't think it's that good. In fact, most of the songs annoy me to hell!! Most of the songs I hear have stupid lyrics. They either say : I want you, I love you but I can't have you, I hate you,... etc. It's annoying!!! However, in Japanese, I find the lyrics are more poetic and seem to come from the heart. For example, this is the refrain of Answer Will Come from Kimeru:
In the painful nights where I want to see you, I want to break
my love and your love
Until the stars fade away, until the morning comes, I won't run,
I won't hide - the answer will come
So the flower of truth won't vanish.

Anyways, I'll keep listening to my Jap and I have no idea who'll be the next American Idol (because I don't care XP).
