Can you tell your life story in 10 words or less?

By Marcia Reynolds, MCC (United States)

I heard a great story on National Public Radio's (NPR) "Talk of the Nation" about the storytelling skill of Ernest Hemingway. When asked if he could write a story in six words, he came back to his challenger the next day with these lines, "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." Although the story you see when you reflect on his words may be different than the one I see, the images inspired by the words are emotional and memorable.
