    Default A Story in Six Words

    Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”) and is said to have called it his best work.
    WIRED asked several writers to do the same. Here are some examples

    With bloody hands, I say good-bye.
    - Frank Miller

    I’m your future, child. Don’t cry.
    - Stephen Baxter

    The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly.
    - Orson Scott Card

    WHY DON’T YOU USE «Posts» HERE TO DO THE SAME?


    Love
    MariaD
