Can You Write a Complete Story in Six Words?

Legend has it that in a smoky bar in the 1920’s Ernest Hemingway’s colleagues bet him that he couldn’t write a complete story in six words. To cut a long story short, he did, (No pun intended) and he believed the resulting short story to be his best work. What he wrote was:

“For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.”
