    I was reading some weekend magazine the other day out of sheer boredom and stumbled upon this little nugget. Apparently, famous author Ernest Hemmingway was challenged by some peers to write a short story that was both compelling and logical but could only contain six words. No more, no less. He left this as his piece.

    For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.

    I think it's quite amazing personally! Can you rival it? Give it a go and let's see do we get anything really good?
    I know everyone's taking the piss and all that, but that's actually brilliant.

    Agreed. This Hemmingway lad could have a future if he keeps the writing up.

    Hemingway covered WW2 as a journalist. He was at the normandy landings and the liberation of Paris.

    He stands alone as an author.
