I challenge you to do some "flash fiction." Flash fiction is defined as fiction that is really brief. One of the most famous is the piece written by Ernest Hemingway. According to the legend, Hemingway was challenged to tell a story using only six (6) words. His response was the following:
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
It works! It has an exposition, some rising action, and a bit of resolution. It also packs a lot of suspense. It makes us ask whose baby shoes? Why were they neer worn? WAs this a fiction or nonfiction piece for Papa?
So---I now challenge you to contribute your own "flash fiction." The rules are that the piece must contain only six (6) words. Good luck!!!
