Six word stories anyone?

This thread will be fun! For anyone wanting to join in, this is the definition/rules for a six word story (from Narrative Magazine.)
A Six-Word Story should provide a movement of conflict, action, and resolution that gives the sense of a complete story transpiring in a moment’s reading.
