One Life. Six Words. What's Yours?

When Hemingway famously wrote, "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn," he proved an entire story could be told using a half dozen words. When the online storytelling magazine SMITH asked readers to submit six-word memoirs, they proved a whole, real life can be told this way too.

So I picked up the deceptively simple and surprising addictive Not Quite What I Was Expecting and am quite enamored with it. It truly is a thousand glimpses of humanity—six words at a time. So I began wracking my brain, thinking what mine might be...and realized Foo and I had it all along: Life is an Adventure; Live it.
