For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn.- This is a short story by Ernest Hemingway, perhaps written to settle a bar bet or perhaps written as a challenge, even before our thisisby.us existed but in any case it's an absolute gem, a complete work of fiction that shows the total genius of Hemmingway the man and the writer. It's a piece of writing I think about a lot, and it's one of my favorites. It's evocative, powerful and clocking in at six words, it proves that it's not necessary to blather on endlessly to tell a good story.
