Can You Tell A Story In…

For this week’s challenge, can you tell a story in five words, using the word murder in it somewhere?

I previously set you the challenge of writing a five-word story where one of the five words had to be biscuit. Here are your fabulous stories:

Ruth Scribbles:

He eats biscuits for breakfast.

Biscuit chases squirrels every day.

Ritu:

Rich tea biscuits – good dunks.

A gold biscuit – fortune made.

Hugh Roberts:

Dead! Biscuit filling was poisonous.

Chocolate-covered biscuit? I’m in Heaven!

Paul Mastaglio:

Some more tea, Vicar? Biscuit?

Biscuit is made for dunking.

Crumbs. That takes the biscuit!

Roberta Writes:

The boy stole a biscuit.

Baking biscuits was her forte.

Simon Farnell:

Life’s like a crumbly biscuit.

The soggy biscuit dropped. Splash.

The biscuits were beside themselves.

Broken at he the bottom. Biscuits.

Sarah:

Biscuit? No! Too many calories!

I loving baking biscuits! Yum.

JR:

Biscuit broke tooth. Crooked smile.

Bharul Chhatbar:

Baking biscuits earned her bread.

Biscuits-Friend of young & old!

Biscuit bites the best tongue!

Val Fish:

Broken biscuits have no calories!

Brexit? It takes the biscuit…

Tessa:

Buttery biscuits, great for breakfast.

Buttered biscuits, where’s the jam?

Biscuits? The dog helped himself.
