Found a few good ones...

-Drink to Life. Drive to Death.

-Empty highway. Petrol light flickers. Alone.

-She merely smiled. His world stopped.

-First Friend. Then Lover. Lost both.

-Two lovers, one parachute. No survivors.

-War. Just cause? Or just 'cause?

Admirably, she waited till he died.

The door closed behind him.Quietly.
