This was a great idea from a blogger I thought I'd pass along to challenge you all with.
Can you write a six-word story? Post them as a comment to my Dot.
Quoted: Ernest Hemingway was once prodded to compose a complete story in six words. His answer, personally felt to be his best prose ever, was "For sale: baby shoes, never used." Some people say it was to settle a bar bet. Others say it was a personal challenge directed at other famous authors.
