Happy Thursday! Here’s your new story challenge:
Can you tell a story in 15 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:

Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 50 words using the following five words in it somewhere:
- LIST
- TWIN
- COMA
- PIE
- FAIRY
Here are you super stories:
“List, twin, coma, pie, fairy,” the president repeated back the random words to the interviewer.
“See,” he said, “I have perfect recall! We won the election. I need to be in charge. I will stop world war 2, I will fight Stalin. I’m a stable genius!
“Leaf, twig, comma, cake, firefly!”
The tooth fairy whispered into the comatose child’s ear.
“Listen! That magpie on your windowsill has his beady eye on us. As soon as I go, you must wake up and hide the coin that I left under your pillow. He already stole your twin brother’s reward.”
The twin who was in a coma heard the fairy whisper in her ear, “If you wake up, I’ll put you on the list for a special kind of pie. I’ll send it to your mama, any kind you dream of!”
The baby’s eyes began to flutter open. Coconut cream!
The ingredients’ list for fairy pie required comatose twins, skinned and seared over a hot stove. It recommended cooking with Siberian magic dust and garlic. Conan hoped his efforts were appreciated; finding fresh fairies in October was hard. With those in the oven, he turned to the steamed pixie pudding…
Jenny was making a list of goodies for Christmas. I was making a giant mince pie. My twin sister Sara precariously balanced on a ladder, stretched to place the fairy on the tree. Suddenly, a crash. She ended up in a coma, in hospital. Lists, pies and fairies all forgotten.
