Later on, probably in Honduras, someone asked Augusto Monterroso to write a novel in 7 words.
He answered: ” Cuando despertó, el dinosaurio todavía estaba allí.”
(“When he awoke, the dinosaur was still there.”)

Some other good ones:
“With bloody hands, I say good-bye.”
“We kissed.She melted. Mop please!
“Three to Iraq. One came back.”

“Will this do (lazy writer asked?)
“There were only six words left”

And as for me:
“Couldn’t do it, got writer’s block”
