In SIX WORDS or fewer, write a story about a breakdown.

The letter came. The tears followed.

I was wrong; she was wronger.

Sunrise. Sunset. Into bed she crept.

The kids watched as Mom wept.

The maestro snapped. Stabbed first violinist.

I just can't anymore. I'm sorry.

Ativan whispered longingly in her ear.

Heart breaking. Soul shattering. Tears flowing.

As it ends, each, alone again.

Footsteps gaining, the engine won't start.

I saw she made him laugh.

Piston broke.

He finds oblivion in the syringe.

Words left her.
