Ernest Hemingway was once prodded to compose a complete story in six words. His answer, personally felt to be his best prose ever, was "For sale: baby shoes, never used."
Write your own six word story and post it in the comments, if you're in the mood. Caterina is still working on hers, which contains the word "Leave" so far.

I promise. I want you all to succeed. Really. Just remember me.)
Here's mine:

I'm praying to the literary gods that it's not my personal best, but some days you just don't know. ;)
