Six Word Stories!

By Ann Milam

Ernest Hemingway’s award-winning story was featured in our last Bulletin. Sitting in the Algonquin Hotel bar, friends bet Ernest Hemingway that he couldn’t write a story in only six words that would make them cry. With ten dollars on the line, Hemingway won the bet by creating: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” This classic started a whole literary movement based on how much can be said with very little.

Try it yourself—it’s fun and you may be published in our Bulletin! Any topic welcome, including life here at Skyline. Please send your submissions to: annmilam1@gmail.com
