Six Words


I had heard about this project some time ago when I was working on Home Is... or not long after. Legend has it that Hemmingway was asked to write a story in six words. His response was: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Those six words tell quite a story. So, some clever little bug decided to continue the project and have writers from all over the world, professional or not so professional, contribute. The following link is the result:

The Age reminded me of this site today and I have spent hours reading people's six word stories. I recommend you make a coffee, sit back, and take a look. Or twenty.
