"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

So I was looking for writing prompts today and came across this six word story by Ernest Hemingway. Instead of doing six word stories like he did, I decided to do something a little different. These are twitter length stories, partially inspired by Hemingway and partially inspired by a silly story I'm writing

thanks :) it's a really interesting writing exercise. i wrote in the twitter window so i could see when i hit 140 characters. it's sort of fun being limited in some ways.

oof lady I love this. Hemmingway's drabble actually made me cry a long while ago (because I'm a sap like that.)

But I love reading the gamut of human emotions and the peculiarities of the human condition that you've expressed so well in such few words. #4 & #5 break my heart but #1 & #2 renew my hope and #3 just is, like the sky 'she' asks about.

Beautiful, beautiful.

I was going to say something appreciative, but I was distracted by Rob's fingers in your icon. I take your fingers and raise you playing with hair.
