I just found these and am really
impressed by the ability of some people to tell a complete
story in just six words. It's based on the unproved tale that
Hemmingway was challenged to write a complete story in just
six words. As the story goes, Hemmingway won with, "For sale:
baby shoes, never used."
After reading quite a few of these, I wondered how we would
fare at creating Tolkien-based, six word stories. I'll start.
If you feel inspired, please join in. Quality is not nearly so
important as sharing the attempt.
