Ernest Hemingway famously wrote "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

He once described it as his best ever work. Since then many thousands have penned their own six word story.

Here's a few examples to get you going.

"The smallest coffins are the heaviest."

"Wrong number." says a familiar voice.

"I've fought too hard to surrender."

"Would've,should've, could've,didn't,didn't,didn't."

Loads of stuff online but let's see what the Chit Chat Literati can produce. Got to be better than Trump/Brexit stuff.

I have never heard of that before, crystalhunt.  It should be taught to all children as a warning to make something of their lives.

I have been trying to post 'laugh' 'laugh' 'laugh' but it won't let me , akabula - but it was a great reply!

Sorry Capt F, that is my just reward for being a clever clogs.  My only excuse is that I learnt latin decades ago and I forgot about the no punctuation.
