What is your six-word story?

And the puppets killed their master.

I am so far from home

Great. Very revolutionary...

Saddened, for death would never come.

My Lord is waiting for me.

Would you marry me?

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.
