I've recently found out about the concept of "Flash fiction", or "minimalist fiction", they basically try to convey an emotion with very few words.

Some examples:

• "For sale: baby shoes, never worn"
• "All he left behind were memories"
• "She smiled. They cried. Life changed."
• "Whispered goodbye. Silent tears. Forever missed."
• "Faded photos. Forgotten memories. Love remembered."

It's interesting how much you can tell by only using 6 words.
