Six Word Sunday

Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a short story in six words. His six-word short story was:

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

 Susan at Bear Swamp Reflections presents a theme each Sunday. We are asked to write our own short story 
in six words, no more, no less.

This weeks theme: 
Marriages 

My story:

"After the honeymoon, we got married."




This is fun word challenge. Try it if you'd like.

  2. Awesome, Gemma. Your story is a fine one. I don't know that I could ever write a story in six words, but who knows, I might give it a shot. ;)

    Hemmingway's story is haunting, isn't it?

  4. Amazing what meaning one can convey with only six words. Makes the mind do an entire silent short story. Love the idea!
