Can You Tell A Story In…

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

Last week’s challenge was to write a five-word story where one of the five words had to be sock. Here are your entertaining stories:

Keto For Beginners:

Ugh! Rocks in my sock!

AJ Shawler:

He choked on his sock.

Bloody hell! Your socks stink!

Sheesh! Sock puppets are creepy.

Our band’s called, SMELLY SOCKS!

I socked him. He cried!

Paul L Mastaglio:

Sock partner? Must like red.

JR:

Odd socks. Clue to infidelity.

Sock fake news sky high.

Ritu:

Put a sock in it!

Washing machine – one sock monster.

Hole in my sock – dang!

Neeltheauthor:

Your sock sucks my life.

Mismatched socks; accused in dock.

Mismatched socks? Something’s very fishy.

K Morris Poet:

The girl’s sock, convicted him.

Her sock shocked his wife!

The sock drawer revealed all.

Simon Farnell:

Sock pulled – toe pokes out.

Chris Page:

      1. No, she hasn’t. I tried to keep the comment ambiguous as it could be somebody resigning in May as well. Could be on the cards though …
