The NPR show On The Media had a challenge for National Novel Writing Month: Write a novel in 12 word or less.

A couple examples:
"Six words into his first novel, Sam's lonely wife murdered him."

"Obituary. First five words free, she thought. Charles dead. Yacht for sale."

The orginal challenge with many, many posted entries is here: http://onthemedia.org/episodes/2007/11/09/segments/88671

The 12 winners chosen are here: http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2007/11/23/07

Enjoy.
