"The last man on Earth was alone in his room. There was a knock on the door..."
Those two sentences, which I first read in the 50's, won the award for the shortest scifi story ever written, containing all of the necessary elements including mystery, suspense, and the suggested presence of alien life forms.
Citizen Kane was a piece of cake by comparison.
Convictus erectus eternus.
