The TWO-SENTENCE STORY Thread

[RJDiogenes]

In this thread, we will post our very brief contributions to modern literary fiction. Try not to torture your sentences too much, please.

This idea was inspired by an article on two-sentence Horror stories, but we will have no restrictions on genre or subject matter. Go wild!

I'll start us off:

"My wife was dead and her killer was alive. After the ceremony, the opposite was true."

Aaand we're off!

"My wife was dead and her killer was alive. After the ceremony, the opposite was true."

Wow. That's a good start!


Here's one:

"For years his recurring nightmare consisted of being brutally murdered while composing the third sentence of his first attempt at fiction. Fortunately, he found a two-sentence story thread."

[Lupine]

Once Upon A Time there was a dragon who was hungry. Then a Knight came along and the dragon was no longer hungry.

That's perfect. That should have been our first one.

Once Upon A Time there was a dragon who was hungry. Then a Knight came along and the dragon was no longer hungry.

I assume that was not a Pizza Delivery Knight.

I dreamt that while my wife and I were sun-bathing by the pool, we were getting splashed by water. I woke up covered in her blood.

There was once a Professor who had a dream. The next day he was arrested.

It seemed like an innocent enough dream.

Let's try some Sci Fi:

Our starship visited the planet Vega for the first time and discovered that the people there eat only meat. Each world is unique, but irony is universal.

^^ That's nice, and poetic.

[Lupine]

An Astronaut was invited over for dinner by the rulers of Vega 3. He was never seen again.

[scottydog]

^ If we'd just train vegetables to become astronauts, they'd be safe on Vega 3.

And offensive to Vegans.

An Astronaut was invited over for dinner by the rulers of Vega 3. He was never seen again.

But they named a sandwich after him.

"Sir, we lost contact with our first vegetable astronaut!"
"I'm sure he'll turnip somewhere."
