Anyone have any good ideas for short films?

I estimated that I need to come up with about eight this semester of film school and I am brain dead. So I thought I would ask. Give me a pitch! That means 25 words or less.. well I will allow more

    1) Go to those "women's magazines" (Women's Day , That's Life and Take 5 in Australia - the first two do have websites and there are probably local variations - I know the UK has equivalents) - they have like "5 minute fiction" or "Secret Tales" kinda stories which would suit a film

    2a) Conversations inside an elevator. You could have weird conversations which are quite sane but you only hear a small portion - you could do the elevator only or the conversation and then around)

    2b) This could be converted to anywhere really - a change room, coffee, tourist bureau and the weird quetions they may get...

    3a) 8 hours of someone sleeping in 8 mins, you could even go 24 hours - people, pets, being made etc all done in fast pace 24 hours over 8 minutes or such. (Variations obviously can be thought of)

    3b) Follow feet (can be fast pace obviously) OR watch the early parts of CENTRE STAGE where they are about to start the dance class and are banging and doing all sorts of things to their shoes - well like that but an actual piece or something obviously different but well you get the drift...

    2. Starts out with a security guard at a lonely factory closed for the weekend...she's on night shift....nothing happens at first, then all sorts of crazy things happen to her on her shift and she has to survive the night, running from ghosts in the warehouse, evil critters coming out of the woods, stalker truck drivers, flickering electricity, weird weather.....only to find out several hours later...it was all a dream

    3. Internet chatters meet in real life only to find out they are nothing like what they appear to be online....after leaving each other, they become obsessed with each other online, in a hateful way as they bully each other to death.
