6 Words Only

So I feel like I'm always writing about English class.. buuuut...


Can you imagine telling a story through 6 words? It seems so limited, and is based upon the reader's assumptions and inferences. It all started back with the famous author Hemingway, who was said to have been challenged to write a whole novel in six words. He came up with "For sale: baby shoes, never worn.




I've found more of these on the internet written by people all over the nation.


Did what I was supposed to do.


A name that people don't hear.


Never ever trust a nice guy.


Songs tell stories words can't say.


Excuse me while I google that.


Lost voice. I kept on singing.




I don't know, there's lots of them. They're kinda cool. We practiced a few, and next class we're going to have a friend edit them. Who knew six words could say so much?
