Can You Tell A Story In…

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

Here are your RULES from last week:

Kim Blades Writing Blog:

Rules: do not break them.

Rules bring order to life.

Rules bring order from chaos.

Rules give us true freedom.

Rules gave rise to civilization.

Trent’s World:

I’m not sure about this since:

I don’t listen to rules!

Rules can not bind me.

I’m free, not rule-bound.

So

Don’t give me your rules!

See,

I didn’t follow one rule!

Sarah Evans:

I break all the rules!

Mask up. Don’t break rules.

Rules don’t apply. I’m tiny!

I’m a rule-breaking black sheep.

Darlene:

Rules, meant to be broken.

Follow the rules, or die.

She lived by her rules.

She died following the rules.

Contradictory rules. Always wear mask.

The rules are measured daily.

The king rules over Mordor!

His rules are totally absurd.

The rules live in ourselves.
