Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway challenged (or was challenged...there are variations to the story) to write a short story using only 6 words that was so good, it would make people cry. 



This is his 6 word story:

​

"For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn."



Your challenge is to do the same. Write a creative story that moves, inspires, educates or entertains. It must contain only 6 words. Accompany your story with an image. The image should set a tone which compliments or otherwise enhances your 6 word story.



Be creative!



Here are some 6 word story examples http://sixwordstoryeveryday.com/
