For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn
I'm (obviously!) not claiming to be in the same league as Ernest Hemingway, but I thought I'd have a go at the 6 word challenge. Here's my story....
"She said 'Yes!'"
"I said 'No.'"

This sounds like the sort of story where more than six words would be too much!
This sounds like it might have something to do with the Tomboy!!!!
Great stuff, Mel! DS was on a weekend course, last Saturday & Sunday. His Sunday workshop was called "Short Short Stories" and they spent some of their time doing stuff like this - stories in so many words or sentences. He took the Ernest Hemingway story along with him, to show the tutor (should he/she have not already got it in their notes!). It may be very short, but it makes you think...
I like your version too.
Perfect contribution to Story Telling Sunday!
{six word comment...:o) }
As intriguing as "Imagine photo here"!
Certainly makes you wonder!
Now I am curious what you were saying yes and no to? lol
Excellent! Is this inspired by a true life situation?!
Great stuff. Ii've seen Hemingway's story before but had foegotten it. Love yours.
I'm trying to work out if it had a happy ending or not? ;)

Is it to be continued? Or should we just use our imaginations :)
Thanks for joining in Storytelling Sunday Mel!

I have never seen that Hemmingway story before, makes me feel a bit sad! I am definitely intrigued with yours! Think we need a follow up story!
I've read two different collections of the Six Word Stories, some of them are incredibly touching and/or revealing! I've never tried to write one, though.
Just catching up on some blog reading today! Life has been busy here, too, and I'm looking forward to Tuesday when all my hosue guests (six right now!) will be gone and I can take a long nap, then re-focus for the month of July! :>)
Unfortunately Brevity is not my forte
My six word story, from college
"He came and then he went" about my hit & run boyfriend who would drop in unexpectedly for random amount of time before suddenly taking off again.
It's a difficult exercise! I've tried it with some collage pieces b/c the images help the story along.

looks like you had the last word Mel :0
