Brevity is a virtue

Inspired by Ernest Hemingway

For sale: baby shoes, never worn.—Ernest Hemingway

• The original short short story

• In the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway’s colleagues bet him that he couldn’t write a complete story in just six words.

• They paid up.

• Hemingway is said to have considered it his best work.
