Can You Tell A Story In…

It’s nearly the weekend. Here’s a new story challenge for you:

Can you tell a story in 22 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:

  • TOFU
  • SURPRISE
  • DINOSAUR
  • POLITICIAN

Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 17 words using the following words in it somewhere:

  • ANAGRAM
  • VIOLIN
  • CRUMB

Here are your fun stories:

Kim Smyth:

After violin practice, Marshall ate a muffin without dropping a crumb, then studied his book of anagrams.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

My anagram is a crumb of comfort on your other violin post later on in WordPress reader!

Crumbs! Is there an anagram for violin? Vonili? Nivoli? Liivon? Ilinov? No I don’t think there is!

Val Fish:

A one word anagram of violin and crumb is impossible. If you don’t believe me, try it!

Treehugger:

Trying an anagram of these words. No crumb of inspiration. I shall stick to playing my violin.

Lance Greenfield:

My ancient anagramaphone crackled its way across my crumbling vinyl recording of my favourite violin concerto.

Sharron P:

I’m hopeless at anagrams. I’m fab at playing the violin, though – and eating cake, even the crumbs!

  4. Whoops! Sorry Esther. I broke the rules. Please forgive me.

    That should have read:

    The Dorset Society of Vegan Palaeontologists surprised politicians when they announced their discovery of the fossil of a Tofurannosaurus Rex dinosaur.

  5. The politician, an old dinosaur who didn’t like tofu, was surprised to find it in his meal; shepherd’s pie without the shepherd.
