I was reading some weekend magazine the other day out of sheer boredom and stumbled upon this little nugget. Apparently, famous author Ernest Hemmingway was challenged by some peers to write a short story that was both compelling and logical but could only contain six words. No more, no less. He left this as his piece.

For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.

I think it's quite amazing personally! Can you rival it? Give it a go and let's see do we get anything really good?
