Ernest Hemingway famously wrote a six word novel - For Sale / Babies Shoes / Never Worn - and First Story, the magnificent organisation that creates writing projects for young people, asked a bunch of writers to write their own six-word story.

I was one such fellow, and all the stories are up for auction. They include David Baddiel, Diana Evans, Louise Doughty, Neil Gaiman, Jackie Kay, Linton Kwesi Johnson… 23 writers in all, 23 incredible short short stories.

Bidding closes on the 2nd of November… help yourself to one of these gems.
