Berkeley in Six Word Stories

The six word story is a genre in which an author conveys an entire story in five six seven words. From time to time, The Bunion is pleased to present collections of six word stories that capture the essence of life in Berkeley.

Readers are invited to submit six word stories to BunionBerkeley@gmail.com

The author of today’s collection is Ashby Brilliant, a South Berkeley flâneur and Flea Market habitué.

Looked to the left. Found Berkeley.

I’m from Berkeley. Had a bike.

Went for a coffee. Got mugged.

Cows in Berkeley. Watch your step.

Homeless in Berkeley. Watch your step.

Felt free. Then Council found out.
