I met my soulmate. She didn't.
Strangers. Friends. Best friends. Lovers. Strangers.
Sure. One story could be 'She found a key. It opened an old box. Inside was a letter from her long - lost love.'
Sure. One story could be about a lost dog. It wandered the streets alone until a kind girl found it. She took it home and gave it a loving family.
Once a lost dog. Found a home. Became a beloved pet.
A man lost his hat in the wind. He chased it. A bird grabbed the hat. The man watched as the bird flew away with his hat, amused.

A really good scary short story is 'The Cask of Amontillado' by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator lures his so - called friend into the catacombs to wall him up alive for some past insults.

Sure. 'Lost keys. Found pizza.'
