Can you share some 'best 5 word stories'?

Here is one: 'They met. Love at first sight.' This simple seven - word story implies a lot. It gives the idea of an instant connection between two people, and the potential for a great love story to unfold from that first encounter.

Some of them might be 'Cried. Laughed. Life, in six words.' This shows the duality of life. 'New city. No friends. Made some.' It tells a story of starting anew and building connections. Also, 'Dreams big. Reality bites. Keep trying.' which is an inspiring story about not giving up in the face of the harshness of reality.

Sure. 'They met. They parted. Alone.'

One day, a girl walked alone in the forest at night. Strange noises surrounded her. The wind howled like a banshee. Suddenly, a pair of glowing eyes emerged from the bushes. She froze in fear. As the figure got closer, she saw it was a wolf - like creature. She ran, but it chased her. Just as she thought she'd be caught, she woke up. It was all a nightmare, but the fear still lingered.

Sure. 'Dog ate my homework. Oops.'

Sure. A man goes to a library and asks for a book on paranoia. The librarian whispers, 'They're watching you, and we don't have that book.'

Then I saw a figure in the corner, its eyes glowing red. It slowly moved towards me, whispering my name. I tried to run but was frozen in fear. Suddenly, I woke up. It was just a nightmare, or so I thought, until I saw the scratch marks on my window sill.
