For sale: baby shoes, never worn ...

 above is Ernest Hemmingways six word story.

     Not quite what I was expecting, a collection of six-word memoirs. Smith Magazine asked it's
online readers to write the story of their life in a six word sentence and ended up with this delightful book.
 
 
     If I were asked to write the story of my life in just six words, I would either write:
     "I shouldn't have married a Coonass."
       or...
      "I'm still dancing in the rain."
 
     Believe me when I say, the first story started 26 years ago and is closely related to the second one.
   
    What would your six word story be?
