[ OT ] Is it just me or does it seem like most of the prompts or storys end up in a dark and dreary place ?

... the last man on Earth said. 
 
 `` I just wish we could have some more happy endings!'' he sighed. 
 
 `` But I like sad stories!'' T-350 replied. `` I like it when they make me cry!'' 
 
 `` Shut up, you, you picklehead!'' the man replied, throwing the notebook at the robots head. `` You do n't even have tear glands!'' 
 
 T-350 harrumphed away and sat in a corner, sulking. 
 
 Some time passed. Then the man sighed again. He picked up the notebook and walked over to his friend. 
 
 `` I'm sorry.'' the man said. 
 
 `` I forgive you.'' the robot said. They hugged, and Teso cried a bit. The man did n't cry because grown-ups do n't cry. Even when they are lonely. 
 
 There was a knock at the door. 
 
... 
 
... 
 
... 
 
... 
 
... 
 
 
 It was his family! They had come back for him after all! 
 
 `` I'm so sorry!'' his mother cried, cradling him in her arms. `` I'm so glad you're OK!'' 
 
 `` You... you came back for me?'' 
 
 `` Yes! The war's over! We won!'' His father whooped and smacked him on the back. `` Earth is ours again! We had to twist a few arms, but we got spots on the first ship back!'' 
 
 Mom pulled her head back to look at him tenderly. She wiped a tear from her eye...'' My poor baby, you must have been so lonely.'' 
 
 `` Well, I had Teso to keep me company. It wa n't so bad, being the Last Man on Earth... but I'm glad I'm not anymore.'' 
 
 And they all lived happily ever after.
