Many people credit the well known six-word novel that exemplifies micro fiction to Ernest Hemingway. But the link can’t be substantiated, and in fact, many possible connections to other sources exist, both before and after Hemingway. But no matter who wrote it, it certainly puts forth a fun challenge to anyone to create their own six-word "novel." The micro fiction so universally attributed to Hemingway is this: For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
As today is my “Flash Fiction Friday,” I decided to give it a go. Happy Fiction Friday. “I do!” He didn’t. Alone again. Do you have a six-word novel of your own inside waiting to get out? I'd love to read it!

Thanks for contributing Lucy! Isn't it fun to get creative and pack so much into just six words? I'm wondering as I ponder your story, is the "green" an adjective for the type of desert days, or is it to elicit the feelings of green days,cool and shady, before stepping into the desert heat? From the picture, I'm thinking it might be the contrast of lushness to stark. I'd love to hear your ideas behind it! :) And if I'm overthinking, just tell me to stop it!
