Can You Tell A Story In…

It’s Thursday and your new five-word challenge is here. Last week, I wanted to know about your SHOPPING. This week, I want to know about your SLEEP. So can you tell a story in five words, using the word SLEEP in it somewhere?

Here are your SHOPPING stories from last week:

    Sleep is a great prompt! I’m curious about the idea of these 5-word stories–as I see many participants are offering multiples of 5’s. Do you prefer multiples–or are singe 5-word stories okay?

    1. Anything goes! So a single five-word story is fine!
