Writing: Six Word Story

In my last post I spoke about different prompts available on Twitter to help get ideas to write.
Another one of these is Six Word Story where you have to write a story in six words about a topic they give you.  It is harder than it seems. The idea behind this is Ernest Hemingway's famous six word story "For sale: baby shoes, never worn"

Here are some of my attempts:

Write a story about an unfortunate haircut
“Mum used a bowl, absolutely horrific”

Write a story about a deceased ancestor
“She is deceased, I am rich”

Write a story about something unexpected seen through a pair of binoculars
“Oh my goodness, my eyes hurt!”

Write a story about an act of reconciliation

“They shook hands, reunited, now peace!”
