It’s Thursday, so how about a new story challenge? Here you go:
Can you tell a story in 8 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:
- BROCCOLI
- CHEEK
Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 21 words using the following four words in it somewhere:
- SHAVE
- PASSWORD
- MICROPHONE
- RECYCLE
Here are your clever stories:
To shave some time before the recycle arrived, Ella grabbed the microphone, sat at her desk, and shortened her password. Ready!
Yul Brynner recycled his mobile miniphone and microphone passwords thus:
Shave4KingAndI01, Shave4KingAndI02, Shave4KingAndI03 . . .
Your microphones on! Shave a letter off your password and recycle it. MI5 will hear us if you are not careful!
“Leave the Wensleydale! Microphone open?”
Nods.
“Restart the computer. Recycle the password. Working now?”
Nods.
“That was a close shave, Gromit!”
Recycle an oldie, shave to fit word count, job done!
“Don’t tell them your password Pike!” he yelled into the microphone.
Close shave as I dived into the recycling skip to reach a computer and microphone. All I need is the password.
Sharron P:
“I need to shave a minute off my time,” I said into the microphone, tapping my password into the recycled computer.
