Six words for three initials

For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.  That is the model for how to tell a story in just six words. Ostensibly, Ernest Hemingway invented the form; he, the master of lean writing. The point is that the few words written belie the depth of the story told.  My local newspaper recently asked for 6-word submissions on the topic of the pandemic. Mine was published on Friday, September 18th: Separation unmasks our need for touch. Later that day, Ruth Bader Ginsburg died.  In her honour and because no number of words can give her the credit due, I offer this: Woman diminutive. Robes supreme. Justice notorious.   May she rest in peace and in power, and may her memory be a blessing and a revolution.  #RBG #MFGP  Photo credit: Blogtrepreneur / CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)
