More and more that I think about it, the two events thing for micropastas is quite reasonable. I had somewhat misinterpreted it a bit. If you think about it, even the shortest stories have two or more events. Take this for example (I take NO claim of ownership of this): "The last man on earth heard a knock on his door." This is commonly referred to as the worlds shortest horror story, yet it still has two 'events': First off, beginning of the sentence explains that he is the last surviving man on earth. Secondly, the "punch line" for lack of a better word, is that he heard a knock on the door, even though their are no more people on earth. (Also, I just realized it is common in micropastas, or at least the good ones, for there to be a 'punch line' that delivers the creepyness or fear.)
