I cannot claim credit for this idea, but it is a lot of fun. This month's Wired magazine published a series of 6 word science fiction stories. Some of them are pretty amusing.
Harry Harrison writes: Time machine reaches future!!!...nobody there...
Ken MacLeod: We went solar; sun went nova.
Vernor Vinge: Epitaph: Foolish humans, never escaped Earth.
Margaret Atwood: Longed for him. Got him. Shit. (I like this one).
So I decided to try a few.
He said unmentionable. I broke his. (see post under Evil)
This blog never ends. This blog
Two kids. One spouse. No time.
Met alien. No language. Don't shoot. . . (my sci-fi attempt)
Good night. Bed time. The end.
Kind of like Haiku with a plot.
Anyone want to try one?

A very short story. The End.
Do you have any idea how long that took me???? Then when I went back to your post, I realized I plagiarized your last one....duh! I never (well only once) write poetry, or think outside the box, so this was hard for me.
Do I get an A? Please.
The alien ate my chocolate. Damn alien.
I think this is one of those A for effort things.
Another day. No sun. Another day.
Dry skin plagues me. That sucks.
Beyond mind. Across life. Through time.
"He said unmentionable. I broke his."
Hahaha! Brilliant!
I'll try to come up with one after I've had some more coffee!
Great idea.
my epic trilogy:
1. One soda, two straws. One bed.
2. 3 am phone call. Begin again.
3. One bed. Two beds. Double plot.
