In the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway bet his colleagues $10 that he could write a complete story in just six words. They paid up. His story: "For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn." Rumor has it that Hemingway considered this "short, short story" his best work ever.
Several big-time writers have been challenged with the same task... If you could write a six-word-story, what would it be?
I'll post mine in the comments after I think about it for a bit.
