Can You Tell A Story In…

It’s Thursday once again and that means five-word story time. Your new word this week is:

SACRIFICE

So can you tell a story in five words using the word SACRIFICE in it somewhere?

Your word last week was DISCOUNT. Here are your DISCOUNTED stories:

Keith Channing:

I shall discount his words.

Give me the pensioners’ discount!

Does discount towards my exams?

Ruth Scribbles:

Do not discount her words.

Many discounts are very deceptive.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

No discount, pay in full!

20% discount on all icecreams.

Don’t discount the villans intelligence!

She earned a large discount.

Have you discounted the tickets?

Take this voucher for discounts!

Kim Smith:

I shop for a discount.

Don’t discount the true story.

Trent’s World:

I don’t discount her opinion.

Terveen Gill:

Priceless wisdom comes without discount.

Lance Greenfield:

Discount drinks dis guy’s blood.

Discount top politician’s every word.

Discounted wine is best vintage.

Never discount power of love.

Books yield discounted travel experiences.

Peter Wells:

Not even if it’s discounted!!

Hugh W Roberts:

Humans – 80% discounted – today only.

They discounted climate change – MISTAKE!

More discount, please, off humans.

They discounted Mars. Big mistake!

The discounted human tasted good.
