In my opinion, there`s no concrete meaning of it. I think Hemingway Has written this story because of he wanted other people to discuss it very long time. and he achieved it! maybe there`s a lot of
philosophy in this six words. Maybe it`s just a
stupidity... I don`t know :yawnb:
Here`s my six-words story:
Kill me. I`m cruel zombie.

Woke with crap on his head

And it's just what I expected.

If Hemingway just wanted us to keep in wonder by writing this six-word story, then we could say all his others works are written by the same rule. Because they are too widely discussed. There are lots of controversy surrounding them.

I believe Hemingway did mean something with that story. Such a writer who was a master in laconic forms would have done nothing just for fun or for the sake of stupidity.

Caesar wrote the first: I came, I saw, I conquered

she washed, she dried, she dreamed.

she grabbed the butterfly and flied...

I wouldn't really feel strongly to any of those possible answers above, I felt it reflected the idea of "the hardship of living" more powerful than anything else.

Here's my six-words:
Yesterday: Memory, Today: Injury, Tomorrow: Hope

cigarettes and espresso in Paris cafe

Blisters appreciate bicycles more than wallets

Dismal skies howled and he perished.

I came, she came, we cuddled

A dream, blown by the wind.

Real or imaginary, does it matter?

Having fun matters more than either

"born where,no importent,work punctually"

"Beaten, I smell alcohol. Jack Daniels."

Hamlet said 'be or not be'

Fear, Hope, Dissapointment. Absolution, Death, Nirvana

Where am I going to go?

Would you learn how lovers bleed?

The reader finished the story quickly.

I suspect this wont end well

another kid puked in the floor!

I've gone; But I'm still going.

Why know, just to lie anyways.

lived and loved , died and forgotten

Failed at love once, trying again.

Dispatcher sends drivers to troubled members.

She smiled, "I accept monopoly money."

It's A Boy, Both Doing Well.

Love: Taking a knife for you.
