Can You Tell A Story In…

Happy Thursday! Ready for a new story challenge? Here you go:

Can you tell a story in 10 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:

  • SOULMATE
  • POTATO

Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 30 words using the following four words in it somewhere:

  • EXOTIC
  • CASH
  • JACKET
  • NERVOUS

Here are your excellent stories:

Trent’s World:

James tried to hide his nervousness. He stood out with his exotic jacket. A glance at his passport, security passed him through. Now to get the cash through the X-Ray.

Kim Smyth:

Elaine was nervous as she fingered the cash in her pocket. She wanted the exotic pet badly, but knew it was risky. She tucked the tiger cub under her jacket.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Blue and green exotic cash jangled in her jacket pocket.
She was nervous that it would transform into block chain or Non Fungible Tokens or trickle out as fairy dust!

Treehugger:

As he gazed longingly at the exotic posters in the travel agents, the nervous young man reached in his jacket pocket, sighed and paid cash for his holiday to Blackpool.

SharronP:

She pulled the jacket round her, the scent of sugary sweets and marshmallow meringue bursting into her nostrils. £1000 in hard cash? A bargain for an exotoic unicorn pegasus jacket.
