Today's Lesson: The Hemingway Challenge

Hemingway once challenged his associates to write a story using just 6 words. He penned the words, "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn". Amazing how 6 little words can have so many meanings and carry so much emotion. As a challenge a friend asked me to take part in this little challenge. So here are a few of the stories I came up with. Mind you that none come anywhere near Hemingway.

“You voted me off the lifeboat!”

“Is being called thugalishous a compliment?”

WOW! What is the age difference?

I’m sorry now, I walked away.

Sown clothes. Tattered shoes. First day.

People gathering, “What’s happening over there?”

I hid it in a box.

Senior fails economic. Art scholarship lost.

Glistening ring. Bended knee. Answer: “No”.

Shots fired. Teen killed. Retaliation expected.

Under the willow I wait, hopeful.

Unexpectedly the zephyr came and went.

Saying “Hello”, I take your hand.
