Shortest Short Story!
In a maximum of 50 words (no minimum) come up with a short short story.
Hemingway came up with this; For Sale: Children's clothes, never used.
I'm stumped.

What about;
It broke. There was pain and surgery and more pain, then eventually nothing.
13 words.
Do you think it classifies?

I think it was actually: For sale: baby shoes, never used.
