Can You Tell A Story In…

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

Can you tell a story in 20 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:

  • DOCTOR
  • CARPET
  • FEAST

Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 45 words using the following five words in it somewhere:

  • ESCAPE
  • SPORT
  • LICK
  • TELEPHONE
  • STREAM

Here are your well-crafted stories:

Val Fish:

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!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Escape, Sport, Lick, Telephone, Stream…

Five words for the Alzheimer’s 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.

Kim Smyth:

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!

Treehugger:

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.”

Sharron P:

“Be a sport, give us a kiss,” Trevor said, squeezing me.

He’d sounded so nice on the telephone. I picked up my glass of wine and licked my lips before tipping it over his head, the liquid streaming down his face.

I made my escape.

  5. “The clothes moths are having a feast” said the doctor. The carpet was decidedly tatty “get the rug restoring spray!”
