Six Word Novel

Twitter had nothing on Hemingway when he wrote "For sale: baby shoes, never used". How many ideas, emotions, and themes can you convey using only six words? Based on the book "Not Quite What I was Planning", we have often used this in our writing group whenever projects start to get a little lengthy. You can also submit entries on Smith's website, but I thought it would be fun to do one here. Rules: -All entries must me no longer than 6 words. Obviously. -Contractions count as one word. That's it. Winner gets a kiss and a doughnut. Jape Prophets
