Ernest had been asked to write a story in six words and he produced this: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153For sale: baby shoes, never used.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d That inspired Blackbook to ask 25 other writers to produce their own six word stories. Here are a few: <\/p>\n

Last night at La Cantina, Diane and I came up with a few of our own. <\/p>\n
I began: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Campfire food. Bugs mixed in. Yummy.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Diane: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Loon calls. No response. World ends.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
