Brava! You beat my record* AND got in the haircut (not to mention a "Jimmy interruptus" of sorts)!
*Or tied it, depending on whether "Superman's" counts as one word or two -- I'm not sure how contractions would count for this.
Hmm...My ten word haiku is starting to seem positively verbose!
I'll try for one fewer word here, with a non-Tank story...It's either five or six words, depending on how you count contractions. It's a very brief alternate take on the last scene of AtAI.

"I'm Superman. Marry me?"
"Yes!"

Anyone up to the challenge of writing either a four word story, or a five word one with no contractions?
