Another short-and-sweet posting community similar to our beloved ‘F&%K My Life’ (or FML) and ‘Texts From Last Night’ has evolved. The website is called ‘One Sentence’ and it claims, as the title implies, to tell true stories in one mere sentence.
Some posts are hilarious, like Molly’s: "The first thing I noticed after my dog died was how much food was accumulating on the kitchen floor."
Others are more emotional, like "Five years later, I still have a scar of my husband’s entire dental impression from when he bit my abdomen."
Check out the gallery above for more examples.
Regardless of what the post is, the simplicity of the site is sure to have those with short attention spans entertained.
