Can You Tell A Story In…

I hope you’ve had a good week. I’ve had a great time at Swanwick Writing Summer School and it’s off home today.

Here’s your new Thursday five-word challenge:

MOOD

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

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

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Hurt my foot, need alcohol!

Add alcohol to taste (generously).

Green alcohol? Lawn tennis cocktail?

Spiced Rum…. Tasty alcoholic beverage.

Alcohol, used to numb toothache!

King swam in alcohol! (champagne).

Ruth Scribbles:

Do not drink rubbing alcohol.

Lance Greenfield:

Al Capone traded illegal alcohol.

No alcohol allowed in Alcatraz.

Annual alcohol allowance arrives annually.

Alcohol perfects Esther’s singing ability.

Alcohol makes my walking meander.

Val Fish:

I’m not an alcohol…hic!

Alcohol? I’m never drinking again!

Alcohol and me; lethal cocktail.

My alcohol addled brain hurts.

Alcohol free wine? Why bother?

Kim Smyth:

I occasionally like drinking alcohol.

Try alcohol and Sharpies designing!

Alcohol makes the Sharpies bleed.

Alcoholic drinks recipes on Pinterest.

Richmond Road:

Alcohol. Discarded stories of youth

Long ago absorbed by maturity

Cherished memories of a rebellion

Only slowly fading during sleep

Hangovers – painful insights of enlightenment

Otherwise blinded by the light

Lest the magic last forever.
