Can You Tell A Story In…

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

GLASS

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

Your word last week was TRIP. Here are your TRIP stories:

Keith Channing:

Don’t trip over the cat.

Politicians’ lies trip them up.

Lies trip off your tongue.

Neighbour’s cat tripped my alarm!

Trip? No: Lsd was money!

No trip – ’twas a fall.

Kim Smyth:

Taking a trip to Zavalla.

Roberta Writes:

One way trip. No return.

Final trip. Rest in Peace.

Ruth Scribbles:

Don’t trip on your hike!

I’ve never tripped on LSD!

Trips for seniors are fun.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

What a trip! To Falmouth.

Beach trip to Bovisand Bay?

Holiday. No three day trip.

Sunshine, my trip to Cornwall.

Don’t trip! Oh too late!

Trip to shops, no food!

Trip not tripe! You idiot!

Simon’s Space:

Don’t trip! I shouted back.

Sparks flew, tripping the trip.

She slowly stripped, baring all.

Hugh W. Roberts:

Day trip to planet Earth.

Nightmare trip. Never woke up.

Alarm bells everywhere. Invisible tripwire.

Lance Greenfield:

School trips were often nightmares.

Triple tongue-twister: three free throws.

Triple espresso keeps me awake.

Midnight skinny-dipping trip was fun.

Strip off and dive in.

Trip, tramp, trek or track.

Unfortunate trip – broken hip. Ouch!

Tripped over loose shoe lace.

Tripped up terrace steps merrily.

College trip for pleasure started.

Shuttle bus serves two trips.
