Query Only Sticky Posts

I have only a few blog posts on the site I am currently building, none of which are marked as sticky. Therefore I should expect no posts to show up from the below query:

<?php
	$args = array(
		'post_type' => 'post',
		'posts_per_page' => 2,
		'post__in' => get_option('sticky_posts')
	);
?>

<?php query_posts($args); ?>
<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>

	<?php get_template_part('loop', 'feed-top-stories' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

Yet when I view the page, it still displays the posts, even though they’re not set as sticky.

Is there a way I can exclude posts that are marked as sticky?
