Comment from Lady & Louis
Very clever, LateBloomer - and that first word could as easily be "world", because it would be equally true. Talk about riding for a fall.
This is a memoir with a difference - an epitaph of sorts for a country, and a way of life. Well done, and good luck in the contest!
Cheers,
LL

Thank you, LL. The "World" would be back into cavemen times and cannibalism would be a scarey reality. Take care! Regards, LateBloomer
Comment from D. Longo
A story in six words? LateBloomer, you have an epic here! Our hope, and our country's hope is alternative fuel. We'll see. I'm afraid our country's death will be prolonged. At any rate, well done! D.

What multivalence of meaning you pack into only six words. And you speak the truth on all levels. A very insightful and meaningful poem.

Comment from Annmuma
I just returned from a tour of Hemingway's Key West home. he was a fascinating man on so many levels.
The picture tells the entire story; add the 6 words and it becomes vivid. Excellent job. ann

Comment from nitad
America, you are out of gas.
...and can no longer afford to pretend that we have an infinite (and cheap) supply!
You have managed to capture an issue that is of critical importance to this country in only six words. Well done!
I think you have a strong contender here, good luck in the contest.

Great story in six words, and I love the Hemingway quote. You story tells the truth in a few different translations, very clever, we can take it whichever way we want to. Excellent Kay
