Sure. Here is one: 'I lost my keys. Then I found them in my other pocket.'

A short line ghost story could be 'In the old house, I heard a child's giggle. But I was alone.' Ghost stories in short lines often rely on creating a sense of unease quickly.

They thought it was just rats at first, but then they saw a shadowy figure that looked like a woman in an old - fashioned dress. It was terrifying.
A third example might be 'Our eyes met. Love began.' This shows how a moment of connection can be the start of a love story. These two - line stories can be the inspiration for longer tales or can stand alone as a sweet expression of love.
