6-Word Stories

There once was a legend about the great Ernest Hemingway. He was challenged at a bar and asked if he could tell the shortest story. He took upon that challenge and did it in six words. What he wrote: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."


1) Bring supplies: knife, flashlight, and non-perishables.

2) The fool went without proper headgear.

3) In honor of our fallen rescuer.

4) And our second contestant was ambushed.

5) Look out, something from above you!

6) He overcame his fears and jumped.

  3. The first one is very sharp and I like the feeling that there is something fishy happening.

  5. My favorite one was the 5th one, which was up to much interpretation. My least favorite was the last one but I understand the difficulty of the situation.

  7. Really like the impeding Armageddon/Zombie apocalypse setting that is sort of alluded to in the first story. Also, really well done with six letter, six word sentence; The interpretation is also very open ended. Nice.

  8. I feel like the first could easily fit into a mystery book.
