Short Story / Six word memoir

I like the six word story a lot. I also don’t get what it has to do with the life of a writer. Maybe I’m just obtuse.

no youre not obtuse, as fora know at least. This one is related but i guess i didnt really do a good job of representing that. This is about what inspires me to write.

Great short story!
However, I do not feel it meets the criteria for “Brevity is the Soul of It”: Six-Word Memoirs about the Creative Life
simply because it is NOT about “the creative life” however it IS about life.
More so I don’t think ANY soldier should be ‘unknown’ or forgotten.
But I think many feel unknown & or forgotten, a tragedy.
Continue writing soldier. Great job but be careful for what criteria you are wanting to be reviewed for it can make or break your reviews.
You are now known.

unknown soldier is a memorial in honor of soldiers who recieve no other honor, this piece is about what inspires me to write, which is human life and how we influence culture and current events to bend to our tastes and wants.

I am left wondering about the rest of the story.

You lost me.  I get that “Unknown Soldier” is the diamond in this piece, but i’m not seeing the sparkle very clearly.  

If you’re trying to say that an “unknown soldier”, as in, a soldier that no one knows or perhaps has no real identity, starts up an e-harmony account, i kind of get the joke you are going for.  ”e-harmony” does modernize the piece and make it potentially poignant.  

borderline very clever, but a bit unclear.  tis often the quandary of the six word memoir.  thanks for sharing.

the unknown soldier is an american landmark to honor all fallen soldiers who have recieved no other recognition. This piece is a statement of american culture today and its influences on our life. This is a theme that a use alot in my writings.

I don’t understand your meaning at all.  This one just make sense to me, what has it got to do with your creative life?

Yes, but how will anyone know with this six word blurb?  Think about your writing more, your passion for it and try again.  :)
