Six Word Short Story

Before I go to sleep, I discovered Ernest Hemingway wrote a six word short story that inspired many others to do the same.

His short story is - "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." So heartwrenchingly concise and so Hemingway. I think he is the master of words and no one can match up to that. But it's fun I think, like a more difficult version of a haiku.

I've thought of two myself, before I go to bed. Perhaps I should think of one each night. Like a writing mini-exercise to make myself feel better about my life-sucking job.

She checked her phone. No reply.

Why is mommy not coming home?

I should sleep. I think I'm blogging so much because The Boy is not around for me to rant to.

Waking each other up during dinner.
