Forgive me, but is that not just an advert? I appreciate there is a story behind it, but can it, of itself, be considered a story? After all, every ad has a story behind it. eg; "For sale. Wedding ring. never used."

Hemingway apparently wrote the shortest story in the English language. 6 words.

For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.

Well, the story is anecdotal anyway, but no, it's not an advert. It wasn't placed in a paper, it was a story crafted in the form of an advert.
