LOLZ XD that's so funny hahaha. Thanks :D
thank you for contributing to the prize pool @deaconlee. That's really generous of you <3
You're welcome, this is a fun and easy contest and I like the idea. It looks like you might have a problem with spammers or users who are looking for a handout, but I'm sure that you will be able to find, or have found, ways to work around that. I will get busy and forget to participate though, so you need some way to remind everyone. 🙂
Thanks deaconlee. Haha, you're not wrong. Looks like I'm gonna be busy on payout day. I always check the rules are followed to make sure people aren't just sneaking in for a free squeeze ;)
HAD BIG PAYOUT; PISSED OFF GRUMPYCAT

hahaha so relevant here. Lolz. Great image too :D
Hi @anjkara i cant post the picture i searched from google, it says that “sorry, search tools are not yet available for images” so i posted my own picture. But its the picture i wanted to attach on the title... I AM INNOCENT! GOD KNOWS IT
yes, this image is not allowed because it's copyrighted by someone. The pic of the cute kid is great as it is :D
Aw what a cute kid :D
Thanks! She’s my one year old daughter..
And to think I loved you...
Excellent. Great story matches perfectly with the pic. Woohoo :D
Thanks @anjkara.... I'm a huge fan of #fiftywords which is tough, but 6 words is a whole new level!! :o)
Life, only worth a few pounds.
Aww, so deep and sad. Nice job.
7 words, it is a FAIL
( I critiqued it in 6 :P )
mwahahahah that's awesome MBC! Great work, :D
Yes, as @minnowbootcamp noticed... you're one word over. Try a quick edit :D
Nice edit ;)
Ran for office. Got elected. Oops.

Used banned pronoun. Sentenced to re-education.
AWESOME! I love this story but you've used words in the pic which kinda tips you over the 6. Hope you find another image :D
Oh dear, how silly of me. That didn't occur to me at all.
I edited the pic. Cheers.
hahahah even better!!! XD
I'm guessing you're not referring to my drawing skills.
LOL :P Awesome unicorn. Your drawing is better than mine haha
A majority vote cleans the Whitehouse.
Cool. Wish I understood US politics :P
Welp, we did that in 2016 in REALITY ;)
This is a black hole I rarely jump into anymore...if by electing an official who is on a daily basis signing anti-environmental laws, actively profiting off his position, flouting the rule of law by ignoring the point of his position, wrecking health-care, promoting division, and destroying democracy as we know it all while acting like an illiterate Buffon...then, I guess, the crime is Americans being dumb and he is our punishment.
Ah, so US politics is similar to the UK and most of Europe. I guess politics is a breeding ground for corruption and hypocrisy, as always.
lol, wherever you go, there politicians are, trying to get rich off your back. :)
Another one?? Hmm, a theme makes it interesting and more challenging
" -- Can't clean it alone ... please, come..."
(Picture is a fractal I made, from an old post.)
hahaha you're wicked XD Well played
He got jailed for cyber crimes.
nice, keeping with the theme. Wondering what he did. :D
Easy:
His crime was in virtual reality
Some are punished for no reason
OMG. Devastating story. Brutal. Perfect.
Four dead. Killer Sentenced to death.
Very good. Nice story. :D
Eliminate what doesn't help you evolve ♥
Eliminating does not help you evolve
That gives both crime and punishment
Maybe if you eliminate things that hold you back, you can evolve in a way.
What gives both crime and punishment?
Thanks for your comment :D
Nice. Remember the theme though -- Crime and punishment x

Ate wounded baby's flesh. Renewed life.
Beautiful and true. I can't see the crime though :D
Isn't it a crime? 😅
haha I don't think it's a crime for a starving bird to eat dead flesh.
Do you? :P
You're right, it isn't a crime. Do I get a chance to rewrite it?
yes, of course... comp is still open :D yay
Edited. :D

Thanks. That was interesting. I clicked on the link. I had no idea the Philippines were killing so many in its war on drugs. He's right about us (the UK) taking advantage of other nations when we were powerful. I don't think any war on drugs has ever worked though. It's usually just the government's way to make sure they get a big enough slice of the pie, and have a bit of a population cull while they're at it :S
Actually, most of the killer are the drug lords and their right hand or their trusted leader or pusher, cause they don't want to be in prison. They killed their minnows or their planktons that are surrendering to the government.
But there's an instance that some of the policemen doing that said thing.
they taking that advantage to kill drug users/pushers to be promoted or to received a reward.
Cause Mr. President told them there's a price on each head.
He became famous because he has the iron hand of justice.
"If you have sinned, then I will punish you."
"Do not try to destroy my country, and my youth or else I will kill you."
He is also famous on this Story: One day when he is the mayor of Davao City Southern part of the Philippines. There's one tourist who entered on a restaurant from Davao city and he smoked inside of the restau... we all know that there are rules and regulation about smoking in private and public place.
So then the owner tried to talk to the tourist but the tourist is so hard, and don't want to listen.
sadly to say, the late mayor of davao is close to the owner. So the owner called the late mayor and in just few minutes he came with a gun. He pointed to the tourist's in his one of the most very important body part hahaha!
and said to him, swallow it or loss your _______?
Then the tourist swallowed his cigar and Mr. duterte ask him if it's delicious, then he said it's delicious. Hahaha!
I loved her,
I lost her.
Image and words are mine.
Wow, what a powerful image. It goes so well with the story too. I wonder what your crime was?
Loving her was the crime since she had someone else.
His crime questions, his reward punishment.

Lovely image. Wow. Ah the late Bronze/early Iron Age was a terrible time for torture. So many people were sacrificed this way. Still happens to this day, torture for having/sharing opinions that go against those in power. I'm reading about the gulags at the mo. They were torturing innocent people too, less than 100 years ago. Bloody humans, eh!
:) this got me thinking. ^^ Goodluck everyone. :)
Margaret's world crashed. "Magic is gone."
Nice, very interesting. I wonder what the crime was. Did it cause Margaret's world to crash or was that karma for her crime? Hmmm :D
She stole all the world's Magic.
Fought for life, gone too soon.
.
Aw this is sad. Nice job. Lovely image too.
Thanks!
Sad, but one of life's realities. Had to face one :(
Out of jealousy, he murdered her.
Great story. Don't forget to source images that aren't copyright free though.

He did not aspire to much .. Most of what the boy wanted a spacious house to help him and his family .. And wife look with satisfaction and affection to him .. And young children run him joyful say Baba returned! From a simple job he loves and masturbates ..
His dreams remained suspended between heaven and earth
çok teşekkür ederim
I love the story but you went a bit over the 6-word limit here. We need to feel the story in 6 words. You've got 'oluru var mi' (Do you have a case) also written in the image.
Drove without seat belt, got arrested.
Nice. Good to see some minor crimes and punishments featuring here too. Thanks :D
I was curious, got stuck outside
