Pretty much as the title says. Can you create an adventure hook for your (or someone else's) games in 5 words or less?

To get you started here are some examples.
- The stone pillars are talking.
- People disappear at noon.
- Who is stealing clocks?
- This is not a hill...

Someone stole our loot
Revenge is a vicious cycle
The consequences of our actions
One technobabble later, plot device
Time loop! Fix our mistakes
Get caught up in conspiracies
Snap, the blood ritual worked
Oh no, the demons saw us
Demons are chiller than expected
Never mind, lost our souls
We serve the demons now
Leading hell's army, what do
Are we the baddies?
Hey, who's summoning us!
Plot twist, we summoned ourselves
Something something stable time loop

A Nigerian prince emails you
Will we return empty-handed?
Pregnancy craving for dragon flesh
Crow wants us to follow
Clouds falling, talk to Atlas
Skeleton is wiggling inside, why
Weird isolated village traditions things
Running from superpowered debt collectors
Witnessed murder, they saw you

I actually once got spam claiming to be from the Nigerian government, who wanted to give me money to make up for all the scams their royalty had gotten up to. I just had to jump through a few small hoops.

You have a royal birthmark.

Dinosaurs! With guns!
You have forgotten something important.

I gave myself a gigglefit because the 'this story goes poorly' intro fits and I just realized it. But most of my players would by savvy enough to immediately decline a quest that involved the words:

"See what had happened was..."

Shouldn't have drunk that potion.
Shouldn't have gotten that tattoo.
Shouldn't have made that bet.
