[Thread Game] Six Word Stories

There was a post on Imgur today about 6 word stories. True to Hemingway's original ("For Sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.") they were all depressing or disturbing. Examples -

"Dad left. A flag came back."
"It's our fiftieth. Table for one."
"Ever seen chalk outlines that small?"
"Just Married, read the shattered windshield."
"I met my soulmate. She didn't."
"Introduced myself to mother again today."
"The smallest coffins are the heaviest."
"Brought roses home. Keys didn't fit."
"Goodbye, Mission Control. Thanks for trying."

There were one or two that were more thought provoking, like:

"Voyager still transmitted. The Earth didn't."
"I just saw my reflection blink."

But still pretty dour stuff.

So I chimed in with some of my own I came up with on the fly:

"Hold my beer and watch this!"
"But, ma'am, that isn't my rutabaga."
"I can't stop painting this duck!"
"CTRL Z! ESC! ESC! ALT F4!"

Somebody else even spoiled The Big Lebowski with his:
"Bunny wasn't kidnapped. The dude abides."

And of course, the inevitable -
"Shreck is love. Shreck is life."

You got some? They can be morose or silly or whatever.
 
That threddit game comes around again from time to time.
I'll try a handful.

"Banned! Lacking cats, Imgur closed down."
"Cinderella seeks Prince. Shoe not required."
"When y'all finish, burn those sheets."
"Another molasses flood? What're the odds?"
"NY to LA in twenty minutes!"
"Honey? Why're you wearing my underwear?"
"Went back in time. Too far."
"Nothing can harm him!/Except this!"
"Best Friends! Except during hockey season."
"Exchange rate: three deaths per resurrection."
"We share everything. Yes, even him."
"Farting is an art. Try harder!"
"Fridge was empty. Bed* wasn't. Yummy!"
"Why complain? You have four left."
"I'm infected? Just kill me, already."
"His dog's smarter'n both of 'em."
"Broken leg? Broken ribs? Decisions, decisions..."
"Tears of joy...are still tears."
"Craigslist hitman. It pays the bills."
"Dad's home early. Don't tell mom."
"Hand soap. Made from real hands!"
"Perfect! Now hold that pose...forever."
"Blockbuster Video: Back From The Brink!"
