Ultra short stories
Ernest Hemingway was once prodded to compose a complete story in six words. His answer, personally felt to be his best prose ever, was:
"For sale: baby shoes, never used."
Some people say it was to settle a bar bet. Others say it was a personal challenge directed at other famous authors.
A college class was told they had to write a short story in as few words as possible. The instructions were:
The short story had to contain the following three things:
(1) Religion
(2) Sexuality
(3) Mystery
Below is the only A+ short story In the entire class:
“Good God, I’m pregnant; I wonder who did it”
