Can You Tell A Story In…

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:

Kim Smyth:

To shave some time before the recycle arrived, Ella grabbed the microphone, sat at her desk, and shortened her password. Ready!

Lance Greenfield:

Yul Brynner recycled his mobile miniphone and microphone passwords thus:
Shave4KingAndI01, Shave4KingAndI02, Shave4KingAndI03 . . .

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Your microphones on! Shave a letter off your password and recycle it. MI5 will hear us if you are not careful!

Cee Tee Jackson:

“Leave the Wensleydale! Microphone open?”

Nods.

“Restart the computer. Recycle the password. Working now?”

Nods.

“That was a close shave, Gromit!”

Val Fish:

Recycle an oldie, shave to fit word count, job done!

“Don’t tell them your password Pike!” he yelled into the microphone.

Treehugger:

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.
