Apparently Ernest Hemingway once bet that he could write a novel in six words. He wrote “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” And won the bet.

So, can you write a novel in six words? Multistory, the West Bromwich-based community arts organisation challenge you to do just that on www.sixwordstories.co.uk - I’ll warn you now; it’s highly addictive!

My offering: Aliens landed. Hung round. Went home.
