Yes, I can.
Oh, you actually want one? Here are a few from the flash fiction collection I've been working on.
THE LIBRARIAN SHIVERED as the thought hit her. Everyone has a last book after which they never read another, even if only because Death and his bleached bone hands arrived to take them away to the bookshop in the sky.
JIMMY’S STOMACH ACHE turned out to be something more serious. The acid ate its way out and he died in agony.
AS ENTERTAINERS GOT BETTER and better, people spent more and more time being entertained. Eventually, all that was left was entertainment – and the people starved in their seats as they entertained themselves into oblivion.
WHEN THE SCIENTISTS cured death, they thought it was the greatest advance the world had ever seen. It also turned out to be the biggest curse.
IT WAS THE SCARIEST horror story the world had ever seen. Marketing spent every penny of their budget without rustling up a single sale.
HER LIFE was like a bad book that never ended. And then one day it ended and suddenly it didn’t seem too bad after all.
THE WORLD ENDED on a Tuesday. But we were all so busy working we didn’t notice.
IT TOOK HIM FORTY YEARS, but Avinash finally quit smoking overnight, with no nicotine gum, e-cigs or patches required. It was little consolation to his family as they lowered the coffin into the ground.
