Quicksand Fans

I'm a member of a Space Opera group on Facebook. One of the members posted a challenge to write a Space Opera/Science Fiction story- but do it in six words.
There were over 350 replies, and some of them were really good- like "That planet should not be there." or "Death was kinder than the Gorlax."
But one really caught my eye- somebody in the group (not me) posted these six words:
"Reaching their chests, the quicksand solidified."

This must have been one of us... Get's my vote for challenge winner!

Cool. You should try that here. Challenge everyone to write a mud/quicksand story in however many words and see what you get. Might be just as interesting.

nah who here wants solid quicksand lol

I'll give it a shot...

"Oh, crap! Who's brought the rope?"

To tell a story in six words implies a beginning, middle, and end. I keep thinking something like "Shuddering as she sank, Jane understood."

How about this?

"She screamed. Later, the quicksand burped."

She was wrong. It got worse.

Orgasmic, she went under. [That's four.]

Solid quicksand... no, that would just be... erm... the ground! but quicksand that suddenly magically solidified at chest depth is a whole different story and would make for quite a struggle, I think there are quite a few here who would find that exciting, myself included!
