Can You Tell A Story In…

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

Can you tell a story in 45 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:

  • ESCAPE
  • SPORT
  • LICK
  • TELEPHONE
  • STREAM

Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 10 words using the following two words in it somewhere:

  • SOULMATE
  • POTATO

Here are your clever stories:

Ritu:

Mr Potatohead found his soulmate in the frozen chip aisle.

Val Fish:

Was King Edward a potato head for marrying his soulmate?

Darlene:

Disappointed to find that my soulmate was a couch potato.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

‘Soulmate required.’

‘Potato chipper for sale.’

Signs in shop window.

Lance Greenfield:

Mr Potato Head and Hamm are soulmates. S-mash the bank!

Treehugger:

Our eyes met over the potato waffles. Found my soulmate.

Sharron P:

My soulmate resembled a sweet potato – orange from sunbed overuse.

    Escape, Sport, Lick, Telephone, Stream…
    Five words for the alzheimers check?
    He didn’t remember them.
    I’m sad to say he’s forgotten them all..
    But he’s only a dog, learning to use word buttons. So it’s not surprising, and soon he will be fluent in English.

    This had to be the most boring sport ever. Sitting by the stream while her husband fished , she was planning her escape, licking her lips at the pic that had just come through on her telephone. She had quite a different sport on her mind!

    When Shelly got the telephone call, her lips went dry, so she nervously licked them. She had to plan her escape from the steady stream of sport talk. Attending a football game was one thing but he wanted to take her to a golf tournament!

    He heard a stream of abuse shouted down the telephone. He gave the untidy flat a lick and a promise and hurried out of the door. He must escape.
    “Going somewhere, sport? You’ll pay me back for those test match tickets. They were all forged.”
