Seen this in the Indo a couple of weeks back and I thought it was interesting.

Legend has it in a smoky bar in the 1920's Ernest Hemingway's colleagues bet him that he could not write a short story in six words. To cut a long story short, he did, and he believed the resulting short story to be his best work. What he wrote was...


'For sale: baby shoes, never worn.'


wow

I found it brilliant and very creative.

So peeps get your creative and imaginative juices flowing and see what we can come up with.
