There is a six-word novel that was written in the 1930's. Instead of revealing the story now and setting the bar, I'd like to see what other's are able to come up with first.
I'll post the pinnacle of all "six-word novels" in my additional details once answering seems to have ceased.

Here is the story of the story (plus the story):
One day in the 1930s at their regular round table meeting at the Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan, Ernest Hemingway said to William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dorothy Parker and other literary notables attending: "I'll bet each of you ten dollars that I can write a novel in only six words. Place a ten dollar bill in front of you. I'll write the words on this paper and fold it. When you hear the words if any of you disagree with my statement, I'll pay each of you ten dollars. If there are no objections, I take your money." Faulkner unfolded the paper and read: "Baby shoes for sale. Never used." Hemingway collected.

The story of the six-word novel reminds me of a flyer I once saw posted on a bulletin board at my university. It said, "Wedding dress, never been worn."
So to make six words, I could say something like:
Wedding dress, unused, for sale cheap.
