Hey all!

So I was reading an article about the short story that Ernest Hemmingway wrote and called his best work. "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

I read that and instantly could see why he would think it was his best and most effective work. There's a ton of emotion and intensity in those short six words. That got me thinking about something I thought would make a good challenge. So the task put forward for you is to write your own very short story in six words or less.

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with! =)
