A New Day

Printer-friendly version

My Parents died when I was 2. I live with my 3 older sisters, and my foster mother Caitlin, and her two daughters. They don't have a dad either. I'm a happy, carefree boy. Until Today.

Looks as Though...

...this posted severely incomplete. (35 words long, with no connection to the description on the header.)

A sort of Haiku for TS

Well I'm interested, so when is the main event?

Shortest TG story?

Trying for the shortest TG story ever?

Consider this...

---------

At Last

Born male; died female. Sigh.

---------

Now please, go back and finish your story.

Together with several attempts to produce an even shorter TG story. Thirty five words is quite long - how about 17 characters (including linebreaks)?

PM: M :(
AM: F :)

Or how about 16 characters (including line breaks)?

PM: M
AM: F
Yay!

Also very short (but cheating)

If you're prepared to forego the Latin alphabet and use symbols...

☼ ♂ ☹
☾ ♀ ☺

11 characters, and still tells a story with emotion. But the bare minimum would probably be: ☼ ♂ ☾ ♀

Or how about a very short hero(ine) origin - again told entirely through having fun in character map:

♂ + (☢ or ☣ or ☠) = ♀ + ✈ + ⚡
(i.e. male plus radiation or biohazard or poison equals a female flying electrokinetic)

For added fun, you could follow the example of a certain Nikki Reilly and add ⛈ to the mix (I couldn't find a house symbol in Character Map to illustrate indoor storms though...)

Ben Casey

RAMI

All of us of a certain age may remember the Ben Casey (1961-1966) T.V. show. The show opened with Dr. Zorba (Sam Jaffee of Gunga Din Fame) standing at a black board and using similar characters as in the above comment (which I do not know how to reproduce on my computer) Placing the symbols as follows, Man, Woman, Birth, Death, Infinity. Interesting memeories brought back by the post.

Or the Chinese character: 家 Jia - House. You'll have to have a Chinese font installed to be able to see this.

The World's Shortest TG Story

Hi. I said hi. HEY YOU UP THERE! My name is Dot Liddle, and you might recognize me from Guiness's Book of World Records. I'm listed in the latest edition as the world's shortest transgender midget. I guess I could have it worse in life, but do you know how hard it is to find fashionable clothes or a nice pair of heels in my size? VERY hard! Sigh...


The End

Well this is hardly a story though.

It is the first line, or teaser if you will, of or for a story. I can't good or bad because there is no story. Let me see...

I was born female in a male body. 26 characters long. But it is not a story, just one sentence of a story.

Would like to see the finished story.
