Six Words: Short Story

Of course, the most famous example in this style is attributed to Ernest Hemingway:

For Sale.
Baby shoes.
Never worn.

We gave this format a go at our writing group. Similar to our forays into poetry-related exercises, it makes you really think about the words you select.

Open house.
All welcome.
Especially you.

Return ticket.
Free luggage.
Dreams extra.

You left.
I stayed.
Life began.

Silent night.
Sky ablaze.
Moon rising.
