Death toll rises.

The Script Crypt

Screenwriting lounge posts.

Fell. For. Ever.

Things left unsaid.

Mark Deuce "love them all" isn't a sad story

LovED them all

James LO, the OP was reacting to the posted stories, I think.

My contribution and referring to age: "abandoned at 4."

I miss you!!!

Door. Door. Void.

Touching the Void

James LO love “File Not Found”…imagine, you get a pitch script request, then a meeting, and then a contract, and the latest script…file not found…holy cow!

Windows Blue Screen.

That's a sad story for me as a writer..... this is such a fun post to be part of!

Juliana Philippi that's the stuff of nightmares!

Lauren Hackney I know…knock on wood three times, none of that here!!!

Not my fault.

Then she left.

Every wish granted...

It never happened!

Life, me, pain

Killed in Action

Laughter was outlawed

Darrell Pennington yes! THE NAME OF THE ROSE 2

Debbie Croysdale it wasn’t me

Fran Tabor may we all live in interesting times

poor, lonely, hungry

in constant pain

waiting to die

my dog died

She lost herself.

Santa's not coming.

I trusted you...

He cried alone...

Lost to Time,,,

Buried my dog.

“Her heart broke…..

Longing for Love

Amazing But Sad...

Unfortunately, your screenplay...

That went dark Alex Gutenberg not what anyone wants to hear! Very effective and creative!

Home became memory.

I have already posted here, but since everyone is still throwing more out there… and Lauren Hackney said about dark… so then I immediately thought “how dark can I go?” so I’ll leave this here as R rated and not NC17 because I can go significantly darker. - kidnapped and trafficked

She waited forever.

Really Wonderful All!!

Lauren Hackney I'm just warming up :) Thanks!

It never came.

Way to raise the bar Matthew Thompson that absolutely got dark!!!!!

Carmen Mosley .......oooooor..... 'She never came'. Saddest story ever!

He's not dead.

Mark, I'd like to go up to bat one more time...here goes:

Fish ain't bitin'.

Nothing is real

No more tequila.

Bitter from betrayal

"My little story"

called

"HIS MASTER'S VOICE"

So it begins...

My

and

"PIssed over Grave"

then

"Looked to heaven"

where

"Satan plays God"

Satan's first rule:

"No more stories"

THE (ABSOLUTE) END

Days ending soon.

The earth Shattered

Okay Love these streaming three words, we could put a whole short story together or an interesting long line. So I can't resist "Walking after Midnight"

Why now, indeed?

President Donald Trump.

PDJ is not as much a sad story as an American horror story.

Politics discussed everywhere

Erased before death.

Baby clothes burned.

Flights cancelled indefinitely.

Multiple funerals tomorrow.

No food left.

Nobody is left.

Indefinite flooding predicted.

I still remember

My last Christmas...

Never being born.

The cancer won...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Dead horse beaten.

dead man walking

"Time speeds up"

as

"Music infects humanity"

to

"Dance for Joy!"

Live horse wins!

Oops! Then I re-read the challenge at the start after reading this list and wondering why you were all so miserable! Happy New Year to all!

Happy New Year, Ingrid Wren!
