Story in six words!

Came across this,thought it might be fun

"Legend has it that in a smoky bar in the 1920's Ernest Hemingway's colleagues bet him that he couldn't write a complete story in six words.To cut a long story short,he did,and he believed the resulting short story to be his best work.What he wrote was....

"For sale:baby shoes,never worn"......

Other examples from readers are;
"0pen biscuit tin.Damn!Sewing kit.
"No family member shouldered his coffin"
"Wrong number,says a familiar voice.

Love reading these So, all you budding novelists and short story writers...let's hear yours
