FORUM DESCRIPTION
Legend has it that some friends bet Ernest Hemingway that he couldn't write an entire short story in six words (some versions say that the challenge was for ten words or fewer). As the story goes, he came up with this six-word short story: For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.
You're going to try your hand at it; only you're going to write a six-word memoir about life in Miami.
