Ernest Hemingway allegedly considered his best work this six-word story:
"For sale: baby shoes, never used."
The editors of BlackBook asked several contemporary authors to come up with their own six-word stories. They include:
"Satan. Jehovah. Fifteen rounds. A draw." - Norman Mailer
"Grass. Cow. Calf. Milk. Cheese. France." - Rick Moody
"She gave. He took. He forgot." - Tobias Wolff
"Havana's no place for hockey, coach." - Nicholas Weinstock
"Horny professor. Failing co-ed. No tenure." - "A Short History of Academia" by Sue Grafton
"Mother's Day came, doubling Oedipus' pleasure." - Bruce Benderson
"Oh, that? It's nothing. Not contagious." - Augusten Burroughs
"My nemesis is dead. Now what?" - Michael Cunningham
"Poison, meditation, skiing, ants - nothing workd." - Edward Albee
What six-word story can you come up with?

and
"Catholics' tour in support of Honeycomb"
