Classic Copypasta Crap: Baby Shoes

Here's the whole thing.

For sale: baby shoes, never worn.

StudioC is my favorite Mormon thing.

As much as I've whined about BUUUURNNNNS and several Star Wars authors, this is my literal least favorite story ever written.

It starts off by not being a very good story. Oh no, the shoes are never worn. Obviously the baby dramatically died before it could wear them. There's a zero percent chance the parents just got too many, didn't like them, or the baby outgrew them.

But the real reason I don't like it is because of all the classes I've had to sit through by people convinced this is literally the greatest story ever written, because the shorter the better, and no one's figure out how to write a 5 word story yet.

For sale: Diapers, never used.

Look, I did it. Still implies a dead baby, and kind of funny. Much better.

Sale: Diapers, never used.

You don't actually need that For. It still looks like a classified add.

No.

The kind of people who love this story are the kind that like to remind you that, "No is a complete sentence."

Also, it wasn't written by Hemingway.
