This project starts with us examining the most famous 6 word story.
"For Sale; Baby Shoes. never worn" by Earnest Hemingway. The typical interpretations of this story is the grief of a mother who has lost her baby who is giving the shoes away to benefit another child. I am an optimist, everything I examine I put a happy idea with it. I saw this as someone starting a new adventure, may it be a job, life, education, or relationship. Approaching it slowly with baby steps. Huffington Post did an article in 2014 when Tumblr had this topic trending and had several stories featured. Among my favorites in the article is a user written story "I asked. You answered with silence." and I find this such a strong story because silence is one of the most powerful things a person a can (not) say.
