I read a book last week written by different and random teenagers throughout America. Each teen tells a story with 6 words. For example, you may or may not have heard a 6 word story written by Ernest Hemingway called Baby Shoes. It goes like this, For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn. In this 6 word story his wife had an abortion. He didn't come right out and say it, but that's the fun of it.
But anywayy! So this book was full of 6 word stories written by teenagers. The book isn't long, it took me like 20 min to read, but it's defiantly worth reading! It's called I Can't Keep My Own Secrets.
This book inspired me to write some of my own 6 worded stories, along with a few of my friends. Here are some I wrote, and some from the book that are my favorites:
