Trying to remember a very very short sci-fi story.

I read an ultra-short story years ago, it couldn't have been more than a dozen words. It was about the end of the world/last man alive. Was it by Jack Ritchie? Any ideas?

Are you thinking of the shortest horror story by Fredric Brown?

Here's a short that I recall:
