6 Words




Ernest Hemingway once claimed he could write a great story in six words or less. (Some say it was a bar bet put to him). He followed that braggadocio up by keeping his word with what he felt was his best prose ever. His story:


"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."


I thought I'd give one a try. My Story:

"Missed flight. It crashed. Now I drive."

Shit, that's 7 words.
