For sale: baby shoes, never worn.

At school we talked about Hemingway's six word story: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn". Some people think this profound, others find it simplistic, I find it inspirational. It seems easy to write a story in six words, but to write something decent is really hard. Here are a few I wrote:


Truly, Happily, Unused, Unworn, Thoughtfully, Silent.
Who would have thought that he
She wasn’t taking care of herself.
What about revenge, can’t you remember?
I always sit at lunch alone.
We hate each other: always, forever.
Hate him, because you loved him.

You only need to be perfect.
