I stumbled upon the website OneSentence.org by accident, and it appears I'm a little late to the party. OneSentence.org has been going for over five years, but it contains an intriguing series of true stories (at least they are claimed to be true - this appears to be based on trust) and, as you might guess by the name, each story is told in only one sentence. Not long, rambling sentences either, but concise and often very emotive sentences.
What intrigues me about it is that we get no detail as to the background situation that leads to these sentences. For example, one of the first ones I read was this:
My very open-minded mom looked at me as if I had three heads, but my devoutly Muslim best friend didn't bat an eye.
Where are they? What was said? What happened next? We don't know. The only clues we have to go on are any tags that the story is given (in the case of the above they read "bisexual lgbt coming out family") the rest of the story is up to us to imagine what might have occurred.
