The idea's not mine, but I liked these best of the lot, and wrote my own. Try it.

Extracted from The Guardian, March 24, 2007: To cut a long story short: Ernest Hemingway once said his best work was a story he wrote in just six words: 'For sale: baby shoes, never worn.' We challenged some contemporary authors to be equally economical.

"It can't be. I'm a virgin." - Kate Atkinson
Set sail, great storm, all lost. - John Banville
Dream punctured. Build pyre. Curses... Adolf. - Beryl Bainbridge
See that shadow? (It's not yours.) - Jim Crace
Defenestrated baby, methamphetamine, prison, rehab, relapse. - Jeffrey Eugenides
Juicy offer. Must decline. Still paralysed. - Richard Ford
Bob's last message: Bermuda Triangle, Baloney. - Elmore Leonard
Dad called: DNA back: he isn't. - Helen Fielding
"Apple?" "No." "Taste!" "ADAM?" Oh God. - David Lodge
They awaited sunrise. It never came. - AS Byatt
It was a dark, stormy... aaaaargggh! - John Lanchester
Catherine had treasonable sex. Heads rolled. - Helen Simpson
"The Earth? We ate it yesterday." - Yann Martel
"Mind what gap?" ... ... ... - Hilary Mantel
