Hemingway once wrote a six worded story(“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”) and called it his greatest work ever.
Wired Magazine had a few other authors to try their hands at it.
My top nine favorites of the bunch are below:

– Brian Herbert
Gown Removed Carelessly. Head, less so.
– Joss Whedon
With bloody hands, I say good-bye.
– Frank Miller
Bush told the truth. Hell froze.
– William Gibson
It cost too much, staying human.
– Bruce Sterling
I’m dead. I’ve missed you. Kiss … ?
– Neil Gaiman
The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly.
– Orson Scott Card

– Kevin Smith
