Elmore was asked by The Guardian newspaper to write a six word story.  This form is credited to Ernest Hemingway with the following:

“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

Hemingway, as the legend goes, said this was his best work.

I’m not goiing to scoop the Guardian and reveal Elmore’s submission yet, but I thought it might be cool to see if a few of you could come up with some six worders based on Elmore’s work.

Here’s some examples of six word stories from the Wired website.

No time to think of a good 6 word Elmore story now, so how about 8 words from Seve Ballesteros, after four putting a green at the Masters early in his career:

“I miss.  I miss.  I miss.  I make.”

(from this week’s Sports Illustrated)

Hurry up. Hand me the nailgun.

All because she wouldn’t hold still.

Feng shui master places the object

You need ten rules, Stick, that’s all.

that is almost eight words John

Oops.
Better go with, “You need rules, Stick, ten rules.”
