Author's Note

"Somnium" is Latin for "dream."

Another six word story, written for a contest on self portraits. It's my dream to one day write a great book that will go down in history, like Shakspeare or Wilde.

Nice linear word choice. Would've liked to see a monkey wrench in there somewhere. Also, anyone can write a book these days...hell, even Kim Kardashian and Snooki have books! hahaha Live poetically, so you don't have to write a book.

Love this. So powerful for six words.

[SilentDreamer]

Nice job, sums things up pretty well!

[cfix]

so very well written and said. I like this one alot, well done!

[Irish_Ranger]

I like the idea of the six word story. So much power to be contained in so little content, coercing the mind to draw its own pictures from very little. This one is indeed powerful in itself, and I hope you will achieve your Immortality through your writing, as you wish.

[Norma M Sutton]

Oh a NEW, to me, style! I like it.

[OT]

very nice - the idea of being immortal in print, words will live on!

[Linear]

In somnium ego ingredior vobis quod ego sum immortalis

In dreams I walk with you and I am immortal.

lovely :O)

[Hello, Goodbye]

I concur..

I like how it being so simple, it can also hold so much power. I love the thought that no matter what might happen to your body the soul is captured our writing keeping us alive for years to come.
