>A friend of mine saw the Hemingway Challenge from last week and quoted a story she remembered–slightly longer than 6 words. She got the author wrong, and the animal mentioned in the story (although she was quite close on both), but I was still able to track it down at this fantastic, quirky site: Espresso Stories.
