A Story in Six Words

52035931_e8555d30bd_m.jpgCaterina Fake posted Hemmingway’s six word story on her blog:

“For sale: baby shoes, never used.”

She then asked her readers to contribute their own. There are tons in the comments. It’s well-worth 5 minutes of your time to scan and read them. Here are some highlights:

“Cow died. STOP
Come home. STOP” – Shawn Lea

“Praying for justice, he prepared vengeance.” – Justin

“Fragile forest, fool’s paradise, burned down.” -Highonchai

“He was home. He was lost.” – Gore Vidal qtd. by Ted Rheingold
