Ernest Hemingway is said to have written the first ‘six word story’ in response to a bet – his ‘For sale: baby shoes, never worn’ is certainly the most cited example of an extremely short story and this form of flash fiction has become very popular online.
Thank you, Basilike – I used to do a lot of these six word things – I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed their scope for interpretation. Glad you like the photo – I try to show me as I am! This was taken in early June at Portmeirion on the coast of North West Wales – this was the first and only sunny day of that break away from home.
I’ll post them then! I’d like to see what you think of it.
I wrote it for Intrinsick magazine. They had published one of my stories and wanted writers to also send a six word story with a six word title, and a six word bio. So that’s actually three sixers.
Ah regrets.

True. It does tell a story. It’s a very demanding writing btw.

I remember — it was the trip that took you away from us. The rainy one.
I’ve only written one sixer in my life. It’s really fun. Maybe I should try again.

Think I might have overplayed this one – neither knew him – her or him.
