Can You Tell A Story In…

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

FINISH

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

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

Keith Channing:

Puzzle rhymes with muzzle. Neat!

This challenge is a puzzle.

Kim Smyth:

I can’t solve today’s puzzle.

Men are a puzzle sometimes.

Ritu:

I do love a puzzle.

Missing jigsaw puzzle piece. Hell!

You puzzle me, you do…

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Cryptic puzzle, no answer here!

Crossword puzzle cause head scratching!

Jigsaw puzzle, one missing piece?

Muzzle not puzzle the dog!?

Puzzle box, unable to open.

Open the puzzle box… JUMANGI!

Ruth Scribbles:

It is puzzling how others think.

She worked puzzles face-side down.

Lance Greenfield:

Sniffing puzzles my amazing muzzle.

Puzzled pig nuzzled the truffle.

Rebus was a picture puzzle.

Edinburgh crime had Rebus puzzled.

Baffling tech-talk puzzled Bony Tony.

I love a smooth finish.
Finnish has two n’s, okay?
I’ve started, so I’ll finish.
That’ll do – I’ve finished now.

Five words finish this little story
Finishing therapy almost finished me
Finish with a happy ending?
Finish with a suspenseful cliff-hanger?
Finishing last is no disgrace
Finishing first brings warm satisfaction
To finish, we must begin
Unfinished therapy is killing me
Ecstasy crossing marathon finish line

    My excuse for breaking the rules is that I was walking along with my unruly dog when I posted my responses.
    In my first, I should have omitted either “this” or “little.”
    My I beg forgiveness?
    Not granting may finish me!
