Six Words
M'dad (writer of zhurnal.net, long known by the nom de réseau* ^z) sent me this little link to a possibly-apocryphal story about Hemingway:
Some of my favorite attempts of the past few minutes:

Ernest Hemingway was once prodded to compose a complete story in six words. His answer, personally felt to be his best prose ever, was "For sale: baby shoes, never used." Some people say it was to settle a bar bet. Others say it was a personal challenge directed at other famous authors.

Four cups, now. He's still waiting.
Prove impossibility. Then prove yourself wrong.
It's a powerful challenge, I think.
* Still Google Translate.
