The novelist Ernest Hemingway, was once challenged to write a short story in only six words,Hemingway's six-word story read: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

This was actually really interesting so I decided to share it with you...

I also wanted to make this thread specially for the memoirs.....

This sentence should contain only 6 words and it us usually relevant to the life of the person who wrote it ....

So let me start first:

'Smile today, cry tomorrow, read everyday'

Give it a try!

Oh my gosh, and Hemingway's response was really profound, that sly bastard.  I'm so long winded but I'll give it a shot regardless.  

 

"My frozen heart beats for you."

 

Also, this reminds me of a really short poem by A.R. Ammons that was only 9 words long.  It was titled "Beautiful Woman" and went like this:

The spring

in
 
her step
has
 
turned to
fall

This was so short but if you try to make a story for it you will have millions of versions the same way as the memoir
