A very short and sweet post for today.
That, ofcourse, doesn't mean that it should contain any less substance.
Think of it, perhaps, as your Daily Quota of knowledge in pill form?
Despite, or because of this, he often drank cocktails through a straw - default proof of his disregard for others' opinion.
Legend has it that Hemingway once made a bar bet that he could write a short story that could make readers cry.
However, there was one catch - it would only be six words long.
Whether this was a true story or not, it's still very interesting.
In fact, it's led to a whole new sub-genre of literature called 'flash fiction' - stories of 1,000 words or less. Some websites are even dedicated to similar six-word stories.
Today's Daily Quota is Hemingway's six-word story.
Enjoy!
