Six Word Story of the Day

My friend Tee is in love with these.  Inspired by Hemmingway, here is the back story: 

THE HEMINGWAY CHALLENGE

Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a story in just six words. The result: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Hemingway regarded it as his greatest work.  

Hemingway’s six word story and self-critique have never been verified but what is irrefutable is that great stories can be told in 60,000 words or just six.

I've decided to incorporate them into my blog.  I love the idea of them.  I figure March 10th is just as good day to start as any.
