A Story in a Sentence

There’s a lot you can convey with only one sentence, and One Sentence, a site where true stories are told in only one sentence, shows that. Similar to Six Word Stories, One Sentence is a site where visitors can submit a story summed up in only one sentence. There are some really interesting ones, some thoughtful ones, and some sad ones. Here are some of my favorites:

I suddenly felt more isolated than before when I realized that my husband and I were in the same house, communicating by Twitter. [source]

Promptly after arriving at college and trying to clean up after my roommates, I phoned my mom and apologized for 18 years of not helping tidy the kitchen more. [source]

As I watched my cousin get ready for the prom just three hours after her father’s funeral, I realized how much I love my parents. [source]

If I had to write my own story in simply a sentence, I would write this:

I hadn’t realized that there was still something there between us until you gave me a hug and neither of us wanted to let go.
