Ultra-condensed Classics
I know this is pretty silly, but it's also original, or at least I haven't come across anything like it.
Here is one example...
The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Ultra-Condensed by Annie Berke
Gatsby
Daisy, I made all this money for you, because I love you.
Daisy
I cannot reciprocate, because I represent the American Dream.
Gatsby
Now I must die, because I also represent the American Dream.
(Gatsby DIES.)
Nick
I hate New Yorkers.
THE END
