I am honored that several of you chose to include me in the 10-Word Story Challenge — Sam W. being the first. I realize I am a bit late to the party, but here is my offering to satisfy (hopefully) your curiosity.

1. The slithering serpent snickered a hiss, then consumed us all.
2. Red awoke from the confounding cloud, then disappeared into mist.
3. The page painfully crumbled; Paige lamented the last readable word.
4. The rhythm maker paused, only to skip his last beat.
5. The sun slept soundly as the last human loudly wept.

I hope my attempt at this was, at least, slightly entertaining. It was a great exercise in being concise while having a bit of fun with wordplay.
