For Sale: everything, Wanted: wedding ring.
Another very clever one


Thank you... what we choose to buy keep and sell often define where we are in our lives. So telling the reader those things can say volumes. Makes it easy and probably why Hemingway chose the format.

Possible scenarios for Hemingway were all the depressing to say the least
the infant did not survive etc or the infant had deformed legs and millions of possibilities like that

I took a more comical theme to that which was the infant had bigger feet for the ordinary child being the child of the Yatilaugh

Muddy shoes, warm gun... "It's done"


Doing these I can't help but think of Richard Brautigan and my absolutely favorite short story. It's so simple and had such an impact that I remember it word for word to this day (read it in high school)

"It's hard living next door to a man who's learning to play the violin.". That's what she told the police as she handed them the empty revolver.
