Can You Tell A Story In…

You’re all clearly enjoying writing bite-size stories of just a few words. I threw in a prompt last week. So here’s another: can you tell a story in five words, with the word old in there somewhere.

Here are your amazing stories from last week. Your prompt was the word red:

Hugh Roberts:

Red roses? He loves me.

Chelsea Owens:

Roses red? No; roses dead.
Red rover, send me over.
She saw red; he didn’t.
Painting roses red won’t work.

Bharul Chhatbar:

Alas! United in red woods.

Red road to richness!

Red alert, and they surrendered.

JR:

Cliff clinging. Red digits. Netted.

Susan:

“Red?”
“Bad day in OR.”

Paul L Mastaglio:

Drink? Red wine for me.

Geoff Le Pard:

Churchill can’t be a Red!

Simon Faranell:

Five words – screams. Seeing red.

Red alert – Brexit is here!

Need lots of red wine.

Red planet here we come.

Sarah:

Red is writer’s bank account!

Red, great colour for sunset.

Val Fish:

Red carpet waiting; she’d arrived.

Gary Godderidge:

Just proof red me novel!
