Six-Word Memoirs

"What is better than telling stories?"

The human condition in six words.

"Six-Word Memoirs: The Legend

Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Starting in 2006, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking our readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”)."

Ooh, a challenge. Must write some.

• Sought knowledge. Bought college. Still searching.
• The word 'normal' no longer applies.
• Randomness refined. No equations. Pure mind.
• Honesty in anonymity. Scattered specificity. Hidden.
• This couldn't have been an accident.

Yours as comment; I dare you.
