I might as well follow the theme... ;)

They both died in the duel.

Draw, aim, fire: innocent criminal dead.

The hangman's noose made short work.

These all have a Western theme. The person above me knows why. ;)

Nice ones. :D

Yes, I do know why. ;)

Terrorists, dead. Hostage, saved. Mission accomplished.

Two seconds. One second. Bomb defused.

Blam! One shot, one kill. Success!

An elevator - our intergalactic, extraterrestrial playground.

A taken skyscraper. Time to die?

An elevator - our place to duel.

The punch was spiked. With poison.

Dying? Maybe. Finished? No, not yet.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Now, shaddup!"

Buried treasure, old bones, drunken sailors.

Psychopathic cults are so much fun!

Just another terrorist-filled day! Lovely.

A day when all men die.
Who knows the story of love?
The world destroyed but light restored.
Once, hate overcame love. Death followed.
Here's a boy with no name.
Her mother's betrayal left her scarred.
Scared and alone with no home.
The sign says: world for sale.
Today I will sell my life.
Describe this blind man the sky.
Blue touches green, green touches red.
Black and red, despair and revenge.
His last words? "I hear bells."
They look like angels. Fallen angels.
Masquerading as a beast, he spoke.
The sun fell, bleeding, into water.
A drop fell. It wasn't rain.
Cry with smiles, laugh with tears.
The baby's heart beat. Then stopped.
Chains dragged behind. He was free.
Six words? No, only one: Love.
A day when all children live.

_________________
You are dead.
Dreams like silk fall tattered to the ground, torn by the claws of despair. Hope shattered, light hidden, replaced by the veil of darkness. But pull it aside, tear it down, a glimpse of freedom lies beyond. Through the hole, open your eyes, see the sun. With it is a brightness that burns, that scars; that hurts yet heals. Shrinking back, yet reaching out, within sight is the sky, within reach is the world. Leave the broken cloths of the past behind and go pursue something worth pursuing. A new reason worth living for. A new dream.
You are alive.
You are ready.
Go. You are being called.

~
I fly, I sing, I cry, I laugh, I hurt, I jump, I clap, I roar, I fall, I soar, I live, I grow, I want, I have, I give, I love. I am a soul. Human

The quest is over. Mission accomplished!

The quest is over. Nothing done.

Butterflies swirl in a blinding light.

Love is a dream above life.

Love is a reply to hate.

The clock stopped. Time stood still.

Good work, folks!

Screaming inside, smiling outside. Horrid existence.

Dying seemed better than living sometimes.

Victims of their own stupidity. Sickening.

One bad move meant my death.

No more bullets. Totally not cool.

Decimating villains with LEGO buildings. Awesomeness.

One against thirty, totally weaponless.


I seem to be losing my touch. :(

No you haven't. ;) Those are good! :D

The pistol suddenly looked very friendly.

I was faster than the bullet.

The last bullet, the last straw.

He broke all the chains: freedom.

Her taste of freedom felt alien.

Alive one minute, dead the next.

Good ones! :)

Time doesn't fly...It just dies.

She was somewhere in the graveyard.

The black cat meowed. Then died.

Oh no. I wasn't really dead.

The clock ticked while men died.

Oh, I care, really. For myself.

My best friend, my worst nightmare.

Add death, stir, shake, then chill.

He hated her. She loved him.

Break the glass, save the world.

Donald Duck the serial killer. Seriously?

Break three necks, add scapegoat, serve.

Operation Act-Like-A-Loser. Booyah.

So many psychopaths, so little time!

Pit traps are totally not cool.

Good ones!

One, dead. Sixteen, living. Fourteen, dying.

"Screaming mirrors make my nose itch."

Headless horsemen attacked the garrison mercilessly.

"Oh no. I'm dead. How loathsome."

The wizard smiled. Then he died.


My Hemingway skills have been lacking lately. :pale: Alas. Perhaps next time I shall do better...

This one is reminiscent of this older one of yours:

The skull laughed. Then it exploded.


Anyways, you used alas in your post: that earns you a Phillicake from my stash :D

And, to keep this on topic:

Quote:
He laughed, and cocked the trigger.

Quote:
Bob sliced up a tomato. Cannibal!

Quote:
Quietly, I pulled the shroud off.

Ooh. :D It has been a while since I've done those and I forgot how delightful they are. :D

Nice, just did two six-word sentences. :P I'm assuming that was on purpose...

They were dead, she was safe.

Sing a song, die a martyr.

Lose your life, save your life.

All my blood for her life.

Just take it, no one'll know.

Easy to swallow, swift to kill.

Someone was watching us...But who?

Ever seen a dead man walking?

Pianos don't play themselves, do they?


Hopefully one of those was decent. :P

Those were very good Crush. :shock: And Sui, you're cruel. ;)

Thank ye, Tumbleweed. Thank ye kindly!

And...Sui? Cruel? Our Suiauthon - cruel?! :shock:

No, it certainly cannot be true. ;)

Time for some more Hemingways!!! Woo!!!

Look into the snake's beautiful eyes.

So what, she's screaming. Ignore her.

Embrace the numbness. Just give up.

The statue was calling my name.

The candy, so sweet...So deadly.

The notebook was full of whispers.

Our cabin was infested with roaches.


Yay! Writing Hemingways is so awesome. :D

Thank ye. ;) 'Twas lots of fun!

The camera captured more than planned.

Large attics make such lovely prisons.

A haunted shipyard, full of death.

Was mother dear really so dear?

This graveyard was full of deathly life.

We both drew. But he died.

Why wouldn't she just trust me?

I was thinking more thriller-ish, like it captured a murderer's face, or a clue in a mystery, or something like that. :book:

Yes. :P

Let's try a few...

I'd never seen a ghost before.

He smelled like a dead man.

Psychopathic assassins are just so annoying.

Ahh, another day, another murder. Lovely.

Did I have a fighting chance?

I've only watched little bits of VeggieTales, and cringed when I saw even those small portions, so I don't know many of the names :P
