Hemingway’s Favorite Story

 

“For Sale: Baby shoes,
never worn.”

 

To read this story in its entirety, go to . . . wait, that IS the story in its entirety. And a good one at that.

For other (lesser) attempts at six word stories by renowned authors, check out the Wired article from a little while back. You’ll see that (though some are good) it is NOT easy to write a six word story. Not at all. If you think I’m wrong, try posting one of your own in the comments section.

p.s. I bet Roald Dahl would have written a great 6-word story.

Addicted to KNOMO BAGS

I recently purchased a new laptop bag. I was worried that a leather bag might come off a little too business casual. Now that I have the bag, however, I don’t really care how it looks. It’s too slick and functional to matter. There’s a sleeve for the laptop, with a quilted micro-suede lining and a foam patted bottom for impact, both of which function great. It’s comfortable on the shoulder too. All-in-all, it’s a kick butt bag and I’m happy to own it.
