In the 1920s, Hemingway bet his colleagues $10 that he could write a complete story in just six words. They paid up. His story: "For sale: Baby shoes, Never worn."

"Never worn." But, why...?

[ebbtide1980]

never worn because the baby died before birth...

It's the saddest short story ever!

There is actually a website dedicated to writing your own six word story based off of this Hemmingway bet.
