6 ‘Six Word Stories’ for the 6th (Vol. IV)

Originally published 06/01/2019
It’s that time again! Sunday the 6th only ever means one thing here at Penstricken: another exciting instalment [2] [3] of 6 ‘Six Word Stories’ for the 6th.
You all know the rules by now. I roll six story dice and I use these to inspire six stories, all exactly six words long, then you guys come along and post your far superior efforts in the comments section. So here goes nothing:

Mad Axe Murderer Exonerated Post Execution
Mushroom cloud, nuclear winter, the end.
Slew the sheriff, saved the maiden.
‘Sorry I missed you.
– The Cat’
Downloaded Treasure Island for free.
…
… … What?
‘I was tired of giving in.’
Well, that one was even tougher than usual but I’m sure you’ll do better!
Just use the stimuli above to come up with six ‘six word stories’ of your own and share them in the comments below.
We’ll do it all again on the 6th of October!
