Six Word Theater
Click here for last week's entry.
Inspired by the challenge Hemingway undertook to tell a story
in six words("For Sale: baby shoes. Never worn.”), I attempt
to polish my skills by telling a six-word story or phrase each
Wednesday.
I encourage you to feel free
to "continue the story" or start your own.
Today's entry:
Dad still makes breakfast for two.
