Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Last year, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking our readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”).

What's your six word story, or memoirs?
 
Some great stories and quotes:

Music, the food of love? Let's eat!

Hamlet, family, friends, almost all dead.

Romeo and Juliet: loved, wed, died.

Oz: Dorothy landed, then went home.

Sherlock Holmes solved another one? Elementary!

Ahab chased Moby Dick, who won.
