"SIX WORD SHORT STORIES"

6 orða smásögur er áskorun sem varð til þannig að eitt sinn var Earnest Hemingway beðinn um að skrifa smásögu sem aðeins væru 6 orð.

Eftir nokkra umhugsun skrifaði hann:

"For sale: Baby shoes, never used."

Góð ‘6 orða saga' ætti að láta lesandann vilja vita meira um framhaldið. Sagan gefur fleira til kynna en orðin ein. Lesandinn fær tilfinningu fyrir dýpri merkingu og annað hvort hlær hann með sjálfum sér, stynur, andvarpar eða grípur andann á lofti.

Tveir bekkir tóku þessari áskorun og hér má sjá brot af árangrinum:
