Available in new pseudo-intellectual flavor!
As I recall the original wager was that Hemingway was challenged not only to paint a vivid picture in six words but to also create a fully-fleshed story with all the conventional elements of one - characters, intrigue, a beginning, middle, and end. The beauty of "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn." is not just the image painted but also the plot arc that is created - so I've tried for that as well. A milieu as well as tableau.

Dear William; He's gone. Now sleep.

But then again maybe I'm just being a smarmy oval office about this. :gbsmith:

I like this one, but maybe in a 2:2;2 instead?

I quite like the growth of 1:2:3.
I wonder how a 3:2:1 grouping would feel:

"Another final solution," it said. Another.

I liked the 1:2;3, although I had a hard time getting to 6. It was stronger with 5:

Twins: two crowns; endless war.

I do like that a lot more, I think it's the last part having all the multisybellic words, makes it feel much heavier than the rest.
