In SIX WORDS or fewer, write a story about the path you didn't take.

Should have been there for her.

If only I'd told him sooner.

I never played it safe.

Once in a lifetime. I passed.

Then she dumped me... thank God.

Military life, not. Partied too much.

Traded cowboy hat for city heels.

The tentacles were too thick.

Life's echo in Montana's hills.

Marry? No, I'm going to college.

John Wilkes wanted my answer. "No."

If only I hadn't stopped!

Fear deprived me of excellence

"Down Under" could wait, right? No.

I have no time for regrets.

The damn safety was on. Again.

I get to choose the furniture.

It felt too good to last.

The path opened up. I didn't.

Love lost. Doors opened. Happy ending.

I should have Known better

The one without a compass.

That path would have been boring.

I left Africa before my soul.

First love, last abuse; worst mistake

Grow up? No fun in that!

I broke up with Jesus.

Rejected "crazy" women; grew old alone.

I never wanted that job really.

We were soulmates. For a while.

Teeth biting on the other path.

Compromised my beliefs; I said goodbye.

He still wonders, "what if?"

I froze!Ticket said,"One way."
