Inspired by Hemingway

Six Word Stories can be intesting. On a challenge from friends, Hemingway wrote:

For Sale: Baby shoes. Never Worn.

It sends shivers whenever I read it. Got any of your own?

For Sale: Tea Bags. Never used.

Family. Drunk driver. Funerals. Forgiveness hard.

She lived lustily and died sublimely.

Why learn? I have fox news!

Quite good. I have come to admire Hemingway's as the iconic example as we can envision a 50 to 75 page short story about the loving couples excited dream of a child and the tragic aftermath of the loss of the same child.

My attempts could be expanded to a paragraph-long joke or a two page expository essay.

The life and death of this woman could be a good novel... or maybe already has been.

Religion. Ikayak. Religion. Beavis. Endless circle.

Never underestimate the power of repetition.

Since you're a Hemingway fan might I suggest a trip to Havana and a visit to his estate where is boat, El Pilar, and his home are conserved. Of course, there're also the music, rum, dancing, tobacco, and all sorts of other interesting attractions in Cuba.

Knock knock. Noises inside. No answer.

I can't do six words but the shortest poem I ever read was:

Once Stash in the countryside
Touched poison ivy
and it died.

good one.
