A 2 line sad story is very concise yet powerful. It can quickly convey a feeling of sorrow. For example, 'The old man sat alone. His memories were all he had left.' In just two lines, we can feel the loneliness and melancholy of the old man. It doesn't need a lot of words to make the reader empathize with the character's situation.
Despair can also be a theme. When something bad happens and there seems to be no hope of it getting better, like in the story where the woman walked away with another man. The person left behind might be in despair as they see their relationship end in that way without any chance of reconciliation.
Think of a moment of connection and then a moment of separation. Like 'Their eyes locked. His heart closed to her.' Here, the first line shows a moment of potential love, and the second shows how it was lost.
Here is one: 'The dog waited every day. His owner never returned. He died alone by the gate.' This story is sad because the dog's loyalty was not rewarded and it had a lonely end. The dog's hope for its owner's return was in vain, which is a very tragic situation.
He finally reached his dream place, alone. It was a place he had always wanted to visit with his best friend, but they had a falling - out and now he was there by himself, looking at the beautiful scenery yet feeling an emptiness inside.
