For sale: baby shoes, never worn.

Ernest Hemingway was once famously challenged: write a story in six words. The post's title was his response.

Pick a story we'll know well. A movie, book, poem, or song. Post your own six-word version. Don't tell us what it is. Others guess until they get it. Confirm if it's on the nose. Maybe help when we're completely lost?

Slightly more obscure, but two of my favorites:

1. Frankenstein, hiding as a wounded soldier.

2. Dreams about cars, ladies, amusement park.

1/ My awesome dog responds to Xerxes.

2/ Holmes: large penis, Wonderland, AIDS, death.

3/ Holmes: devil in the White City.

4/ I speak superfluously when redundantly talking.

5/ I post something, you post something.

...I think I could do better...
