Six Word Storytelling

Many of you may be familiar with flickr's "Six Word Story" group, which challenges photographers to tell a story in, yes, six words, and illustrate it with a photo. The concept is ascribed to author Ernest Hemingway: "Hemingway was once prodded to compose a complete story in six words. His answer, personally felt to be his best prose ever, was 'For sale: baby shoes, never used.'" Most of us aren't Hemingways (which is fine I think, because how many Hemingways does one world really need?), but that hasn't stopped Six Word Story's over two thousand members from taking up the challenge. Here, six excellent Six Word Stories that also appear in the Utata pool:
