Okay, here's the competition in a nutshell.
Ernest Hemingway once wrote a 6 word story. He claimed it was the best thing he ever wrote.
Here it is -
'For Sale: baby shoes, never worn'
Pretty bleak, huh?
Your task is to come up with the best short short short story possible. The top three entries will win prizes. You can enter as often as you like.
REMEMBER - It must be a story, not just six random words. Good luck!
