The six word story

Hi Gang

There is a genre in literature that tries to encapsulate a story in at least six words - I think it started way back with a challenge to Mark Twain to write a six word story - he scribbled down:

For sale bay shoes never worn.

I have two originals that sum up my life story:

Started with nothing - lost it mostly.

and one 4 word:

Going nowhere - still travelling.

Any more out there - if they are original then please declare it.

Best regards

Mike T.
