Hemingway's response actually epitomizes "flash fiction", a genre of short story becoming increasingly popular in recent years. I did a lesson with this last year. There's a second flash fiction story I thought was pretty good:
"The last man on earth sat in a room. There was a knock at the door."
Flash fiction stories are characterized by their brevity and the "twist" at the end. I made my kids write the back stories to the Hemingway and last man ones. It was pretty cool.

Anyway. Thought I'd share.
