Six Word Stories
For sale: baby shoes, never used.
—Ernest Hemingway
The original short short story and the inspiration for this website. In the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway’s colleagues bet him that he couldn’t write a complete story in just six words. They paid up. Hemingway is said to have considered it his best work.

“But his looks didn’t fit the way he felt—the way he knew himself to be. Sometimes, walking down the street, he glanced at the window of a store and was thrown by the sight of himself, as if he were wearing a costume.”
Awake: Fiction: The New Yorker, by Tobias Wolff
