A Facebook post with a picture simply stating 'Write the saddest story you could think of in 4 words' has gone viral in the past few days.

The original post was accompanied with a four-word story - Harshly stabbed to death - and was shared widely with people around the world adding their own four-word stories.

Most of the sad stories revolved around losing a loved one, not being loved, or not getting basic needs like food and sex met.
