Need baby shoes?
That you, Hemmingway?
Yes, it's an abridgement of the most mundane 6 word story:
For sale: baby shoes, too small.
Isn't it: For sale: baby shoes, never worn
That's the saddest 6 word story.
Is this Loss?
Not sure if you're just doing the prompt or really asking, but I've never heard the 6 word story given a name, so I'm not sure
But how is this a sad story? Babies grow so fast that they easily can skip a size... Am I missing the point?
And, wouldn't this be the real sad story? "For sale, baby shoes, too big"
Implying that the baby died before it could grow into said shoes?
Am I missing the point?
Yes, a little. The original was: For sale, baby shoes, never worn.
It's decidedly not sad -- I specifically said it was the most mundane 6 word story.
then who was shoe?
