I recently read about an challenge that was issued to Ernest Hemingway. He was asked to write a complete story with only 6 words. He wrote "For Sale: baby shoes, never used" I thought this might be a fun exercise to try here!
I was thinking of a magician themed one. " ultimate trick, causes audience to vanish" I'd love to read what everyone can come up with. |
