Isn't it amazing when we strip language back to how much can be said in such little time. It makes me think of that Hemingway piece in one sentence showing the power of simpliticy.
For sale, baby shoes: never worn.

I agree. This challenges are a great excersice of expression.
Great example the one of the shoes... I had forgotten it. Thanks for sharing. I think I read somewhere that is attributed to Hemingway.
Yes it is, I did say Hemmingway wrote it, but maybe I wasn't clear. It's funny how much we can express with just a few words.
Omg you are right... You were very clear, was my mistake. Don't really know what happened with my reading and ideas there...
That particular sentence is brought out as one of the best examples of ultra-short fiction. There's a 10-word story challenge/contest going around right now that offers that as a prime example. 50 words is hard; I've not done 10 words, but I'm not sure if it'd be harder or easier.
Thanks for reading!
