Hemingway Prompt

 Today I made the following post on both Facebook and Google+: 

 

Someone once bet Ernest Hemingway that he found not write a short story in just six words. This is what he came up with:

For sale: baby shoes, never used.

He won the bet and is said to have considered it his best work. Those six words paint a story...one that may be different for every reader. I know I have some very creative friends out there so I challenge each of you to come up with your own 6 word story.

This isn't some random Facebook chain letter by the way. This comes straight from the random mind of yours truly. I'm very curious to see what you all come up with.

 

I got some really interesting comments so far and I'm hoping to get some more over the next couple days.  Here is what I've got so far: 

• This is a lie...believe me.
• She waved! But not at you.
• The chainsaw screams. So does she.
• I said I have to pee.
• Out of meds, and he pushed...
• Afraid of the dark. Scratching. Noises.
• pinano pants. the memories are grand
• I used to dream in color.
• Black car, one bullet, life lost
• Sorry, never happened to me before

It's been a fun project.  I'm hoping to come up with some more ideas like that to post and spark thoughts in other people.  I like that stuff.
