Can You Tell A Story In…

It’s that time of the week – five-word challenge time again! For this week’s challenge, can you tell a story in five words, using the word Teeth in it somewhere?

Last week, your story needed to contain the word Nightmare. You sent in some great stories. Here they are:

Chelsea Owens:

Not all nightmares involve shopping.

He finally succumbed to nightmares.

Though awake, her nightmare lingered.

He named the stallion Nightmare.

Sanandi-jacq:

Recurring nightmare. Incubus beds woman.

Nightmare. Morning stallion. Noon foal.

Ritu:

Tank full. Purse forgotten . Nightmare!

Even my nightmares don’t scare.

Report writing – every teacher’s nightmare.

Simon Farnell:

Traffic is a total nightmare!

Nightmares were never far away.

Eyes watching, waiting. Nightmares hidden.

A J Shawer:

(Evil-teethy-grin) “WELCOME TO YOUR NIGHTMARE!”

Flying economy is a nightmare.

(Smirks) I give Freddy nightmares.

Roberta Writes:

Will this nightmare ever end?

Is corporate life a nightmare?

Do nightmares scar you permanently.

Ruth Scribbles:

Nightmares repeat night after night.

You are my biggest nightmare.

My nightmares turned into daymares.

Val Fish:

Nightmare neighbours; in-laws moving in…

The Nightmare Before Christmas?

Shopping! Nightmares; All in the mind.

Sharon Harvey:

The nightmare woke me up.  

A horrid, terrible nasty nightmare.  

I awoke from the nightmare. 

Sweat accumulated from the nightmare.

It’s a nightmare that’s all.
