Yesterday early on my drive back from Davidson, on the radio somewhere between Columbia and I-95, I happened upon Larry Smith talking on a talk show about his book of six-word memoirs.Comments?
Like this one from Elizabeth Gilbert: “Me see world! Me write stories!”
Or this one from Dave Eggers: “Fifteen years since last professional haircut.”
All goes back to the best six-word story ever written. Comes from Hemingway. “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
So … clearly … in the car … 585 miles … driving from up there to down here … six-word stories about Davidson basketball!
I’ll start.
“McKillop: got somewhere by staying put.”
“Overlooked. Too small. I am here.”
“Wins are nice. Success is better.”
“Nine hours from Tampa. Can’t stop.”
“Who’d have thought? The story continues.”
Okay.
Your turn.
I've moved!
