There is an urban legend that claims Ernest Hemingway once wrote a short story in no more than six words and it goes like this:
For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
Inspired to keep the legend alive, designer Anne Ulku, and writer Van Horgen teamed up in 2010 to create Six Word Story Every Day. The project was concluded and all 365 of their creations can be found at sixwordstoryeveryday.blogspot.com.
But that was not the end… Six Word Story Every Day lives happily ever after in 2011 in the form of a crowd fueled platform for word lovers to contribute their own works. Below are a few examples, and there are plenty more on the site with one new story being added daily.

What fun! And it somehow gets your thinking cap shifting around on your head… (“It was a piece of cake” sent shivers down my spine!) Here’s a quick one: they could win the world cup
I also thought of one: “I used to be a millionaire”. I submitted it, so it might end up on the site 🙂
I like this! esp the ‘Whiskey’-one, and the ‘Back to reality’-one!
The Whiskey one is cool… but maybe we’re just longing for Whiskey Thursday 😉
