Hope you're not planning on making a novel out of it...

Is it told in the first person?  When you say there are no
other characters, do you mean that (1) no other characters
appear in the scenes, or that (2) no other characters are
mentioned, period.

  1) I grabbed the rock and thought of Marta.
  2) I grabbed the rock.

I remember reading several short stories of type (1)
(chances are good that you'll find one in either _T Zero_ by
Calvino or _Ficciones_ by Borges).  Can't recall if I've
ever read one of type (2).  You might also find inspiration
from _Jealousy_ by Robbe-Grillet, although it doesn't exactly
fit your criterion.
