Why i love the boyfriend

Wikipedia has this to say about Flash fiction:
Unlike a traditional short story, the limited word length (in flash fiction) often forces some of the elements (protagonist, conflict, obstacles, resolution) to be unwritten, that is, hinted at or implied in the written storyline.
Ernest Hemingway's six-word flash, "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." illustrates this principle taken to the extreme.

Boyfriend's response to Hemingway's flash:
"Nothing sad about that...probably wrong shoe size"

I laughed out loud to read your boyfriend's response. Yeah, I can see his point of view.
