    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?

    The real challenge is to write the short story Hemingway didn't by using that as a title.

    Admirably, she waited till he died.

    The door closed behind him.Quietly.
