hemingway rule six-word story

Inspired by Ernest Hemingway and the Six-Word Rule. 
Today, I read a book called "The Communication Book: 44 Ideas for Better Conversations Every Day", and in it was a chapter that mentioned about the six-word rule and Hemingway's version of it which goes like this - "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
It took me a few seconds to realized the story expressed in that short sentence. Those six words painted the entire story in the back of my head. It was pretty powerful. 
One can tell a story with only 6 words. And you can also use this six-word rule to describe novels, films, or anything else to test if you really understood it.
This rule has inspired me to describe my life up until now. And I did this to test if I understood myself.
I wrote this down while traveling by MRT.All Rights Reserved

The ties that bind by Hennncccy

A family that once loved her. A crime she never committed. And a past that won't stay buried. For years, Serena Rossi lived in hell, locked away in a place that felt more like a prison than a school. She was punished for a crime she didn't commit-attempting to murder her twin sister, Sofia. The truth? Buried. Now, after years of silence, Serena's called home-to a family she barely recognizes. Her parents are dead, and her twin sister is alive. But everything has changed. Sofia, the one person Serena loved more than anyone, now sees her as a monster. Her brothers? They can't forgive her. Serena's heart aches as she tries to piece together the truth-about her family, about the betrayal, and about the mother who tried to kill her to hide the twisted secrets of the past. But as the past comes rushing back, someone from the shadows is ready to finish what was started. The lies, the pain, and the broken bonds threaten to tear everything apart. Will the truth ever set them free? Or is it too late to fix what's been broken?
