The last post of short short stories reminded me of the idea of Six Word Summaries. Once asked to write a full story in six words, legend has it that novelist Ernest Hemingway responded: “For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
“Not Quite What I Was Planning,” is a collection of six-word memoirs by famous and not-so-famous writers, artists and musicians.
I like: Fifteen years since last professional haircut, David Eggers.

I also found the idea of six word synopsis as a review of a film.
