In the 1920's, Ernest Hemingway's colleagues bet him that he couldn't write a complete story in just six words. They paid up. Hemingway is said to have considered it his best work. A piercingly dark piece of writing, taking the heart of a Dickens or Dostoevsky novel and carving away all the rest, Ernest Hemingway's six-word story -- fabled forerunner of flash-and twitter-fiction -- is shorter than many a story's title:
>For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
In the 2020's women outdone Ernest Hemingway and wrote a complete story in just two words.
>Want someday

He has an uncanny ability to say much with so sparingly few words.
At times, his writing is so good that it distracts from the story in a perversely opposite manner of cheesy special effects in movies and the like.
It's that good.
Melville too. At least Moby Dick anyway. Never read any of his other work.
