Can You Tell A Story In…

I hope you’re all having a wonderful festive break. Hopefully you’ll have time to squeeze in a quick five-word challenge. For this week’s challenge, can you tell a story in five words, using the word WISH in it somewhere?

Last week, your story needed to contain the word PRESENTS. You sent in some festive treats. Here they are:

Sanandi-Jacq:

Unknown presence gifts Christmas presents.

Christmas presents herald angelic era.

Christmas presents us with enigma.

Ritu:

How many presents this year?

Give presents versus your presence?

Christmas is more than presents.

Your company, the best present

I’m your present. Unwrap me.

Ruth Scribbles:

He received a graduation present.

I will present the present.

She is present and ready.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

The presents are all yours.

Felt a presence not presents.

Presents for the children here.

My presents are old fashioned.

Got bikes as Christmas presents.

Socks, pants, ties, all ‘presents’…

Paul L Mastaglio:

The presents are from Santa!

Exciting opening presents. Isn’t it?

Presents nestling under the tree.

Val Fish:

Surprise presents from Secret Santa.

Kids get too many presents!

Greatest present of all; Jesus.
