Can You Tell A story In…

Happy Thursday! How has your week been? Good, I hope. Here’s a new story challenge:

Can you tell a story in 6 words? You must use the following word somewhere in the story:

  • STARE

Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 19 words using the following three words in it somewhere:

  • FRAUD
  • LAUNDRY
  • NECK

Here are your entertaining stories:

Kim Smyth:

I was stacking laundry on the bed when the fraudulent phone call came in. A pain in the neck!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

His neck was black from playing rugby. His needed the laundry, the laundress was a fraud, using fake soap!

Treehugger:

The Laundry was not all it seemed.The manager was up to her neck in fraud and money laundering.

Sharron P:

My daughter does my laundry because of the pain in my neck.

“Alright, Mum, you old fraud,” she says.
