Very very short stories

-Karamazov-:
Ernest Hemingway once bet his colleagues that he could write a complete story in just six words. He won with the story: "For sale: Baby shoes, Never worn."  In 2006, wired magazine ran a contest inspired by Hemingway's short short story.  It featured 33 authors, many were sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers.  The results can be seen here. 

My personal favorite from the ones listed:

--- Quote from: Steven Meretzky --- Leia: "Baby's yours." Luke: "Bad news…"
--- End quote ---

I was wondering what sort of short stories the QC forums could come up with using this model.  The rules are that you can write anything you want, as long as it is exactly six words long.

My short short story:
"Haha!  Your cup contained the poiso-..."

supersheep:
Above us, the stars went out.

(Not very original, I know. Also, those six words of Hemingway's are probably the best thing ever written in the English language.)

"Well" he said, "I regret nothing"
