The Hemingway Challenge, named after the poet Ernest Hemingway, is a celebration of his genius when it came to words. It asks for the writer to convey a story in six words and not more, not less.
The best six word story, I have come across till date, courtesy him, is “For sale : baby shoes, never worn”.
Here’s my first, and hopefully not last, shot at the challenge :
World’s moonlit night, moonless to him.
Graciously Yours!
P.S. : Julia from ‘Life Matters’ is also doing the #sixwordstory challenge. Here’s my favourite from her collection.

The night talked to you for the first time? Impossible 😉 When a thinker like you says that, I don’t quite believe it!
The Monday you were talking about was probably a couple of weeks ago :p I should get you to write dates from next time!

Nice one..:-)
It is said, Hemingway was challenged by some of his friends to compose a six-word-story and, hence, we got the wonderful one…

Thank you so much!
Yes, I read the context yesterday. To be sitting among friends, surrounded by happiness and coming up with story? Surprising, indeed!

Thank you so much… I think every six word story has a long story too. But it’s allure is that it doesn’t say it.
