Emotions-how well can your stories express them?

Here is a list of emotions. Give me stories about them.

Grief
Happiness
Jealousy
Anger
Shock
Curiousity
Love

Your story will impress me if

i)Emotions are expressed well in it
ii)It makes me experience any of the above emotions

Rules

i)Stories with a beginning, middle and an end.
ii)No CAPS. Good spelling and grammar preffered
iii)Word Limit-If your story bores me, or is found too short, I won't read it. Don't complain of my being unfair later.
iv)Avoid this monstrous cliche-'Life is so unfair'. I am the one who should feel that on reading your sad story, you don't have to tell me that.
v)And, no story titled 'Sad Story.' Be original with your titles!

Prompts (Those who use these will get honorable mentions)

i)Demons and Angels, but please don't make Satan or God the main characters.
ii)"Why, (insert name of your choice), why?"
"Because you torment me! Every second of my life you have (spurned/tortured) me! That is why!"
iii)"Well, this is the end, my friends. I'm sorry. Buh-bye."
iv)The picture above.

Put the prompt in your A/N, because you're writing a new story anyway. Plus, the credit can't just go to you!

Have a nice time

New Development-Leave a comment on the contest stating the title of your story and the emotion you used.
