Can You Tell A Story…

It’s almost Friday, and that means five-word story time. Your new word this week is:

MIRROR

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

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

Kim Smyth:

I need a knee operation.

Operations are expensive to have.

The operation left him blind.

Emma:

‘Operation Write a Best-seller’. Failed…

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

The operation was not successful.

Operation Blop, making paint messy!

Train buff, Operation Station Master.

Operation of tools. Danger, warning.

The ‘Cat’ – in operation scandal!

Shopping is a real ‘operation’!

My writing operation? A success!

EDC Writing:

Recurrent operation, broken heart restitched.

Ruth Scribbles:

Ukraine’s military operation was successful.

I will have knee operations.

Trent’s World:

Operation ‘Weekend Party’ has begun!

Pencil operation failure – i.e., scribble.

The spaceship’s operation is… difficult…

Val Fish:

Planning daughter’s wedding, military operation.

Awake during operation; worst nightmare.

Operation waiting lists agonisingly long.

Alz Gusta Presents:

Operation after operation, getting old.

Lance Greenfield:

Essential operations are often cancelled.

Hoping that your operation goes well.

Successful operation eliminates future pain.

And here’s Chris Farley‘s five-word stories for the previous promt of FEET:

Five feet high and rising (thanks Johnny Cash).

Thirty thousand feet and falling.

Anointed feet on a cross.

Our feet, tied, three legged.
