A blogger that I follow posted a challenge I couldn't resist!
She writes,
"I believe it was Ernest Hemingway who came up with the 6 word story idea, or at least accepted the challenge to try and created one of the best 6 worders ever:
For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.
Here's my try:
For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.
Here's my try:
Funerals were funny, but not his.
Not as complete as Hemingway's, but its a fun challenge. Quite a challenge.
What have you got?"

Well, I'm on this fairy tale haiku kick right now, so challenges like this really intrigue me.
I mean, telling a complete fairy tale in a haiku seems hard enough let alone in six words?
Here's my attempt:
In demand, true love, no price.
Castles, made of sand, will fall.
Happily ever after, a fairy tale.
Prince finds Princess, a perfect beauty.

I write stories about women and choice, so I knew that had to be integral. Thanks for making me think!
