Can You Tell A Story In…

It’s Thursday and story time. Here’s the latest story challenge:

Can you tell a story in 50 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:

  • CHESS
  • WIGGLE
  • MUESLI
  • EMBRACE
  • MOUSE
  • PRINCE
  • BLISTER
  • COMPLAINT

Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 23 words using the following words in it somewhere:

  • HERO
  • LEATHER
  • NOTES
  • TRIANGLE
  • AUBERGINE

Here are your entertaining stories:

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

The hero in leather stepped into the triangle scratched into the sand. He would fight for his honour. The prize? A purple aubergine!

Kim Smyth:

The heroine, who was clad in aubergine leathers, awaited the triangle’s ring. The judge, consulted his notes, and the contest began. “Dig in!”

Darlene:

I was in a triangle park taking notes for a story, when I noticed my hero in leather pants lovingly fondling an aubergine.

Squirreljan:

Using notes, the hero preached. One of his minions, wearing the mandatory aubergine leather hat, threw a triangle at him. He fell, stunned.

Wilfred Leahy:

She opened the leather case, holding a aubergine in her hand which fell when she read the notes “Walt not hero in triangle”.

Sharron P:

An exploding triangle-shaped aubergine? The hero pulled out his leather jotter and made some notes. What would they think of next? Deadly donuts?

  1. As they played chess they saw a “mouse” wiggle out of the skirting board. It ran up the dresser and grabbed some museli. The Prince embraced his butler. “That’s her” he said “The Princess was transformed by the Blistered Witch after a complaint from her two ugly sisters” he cried!

    After scoffing all the muesli, the mouse, Blister, escaped across the chess board. “You can’t wiggle out of this. I’m making a complaint to your superiors.” The prince was furious until he realised what had happened and gave Blister a warm embrace. “I’ve won! You’ve nudged my opponent into checkmate.”

        I find these a great kickstart to my writing weekend (which is four days as I’m part-time). It’s just what I need to turn off my work head and put my creative one on. I’m so glad I started to do these, Esther. Thank you. Janice

  6. The bowl of cereal sat untouched. The Prince preferred to eat Muesli with no milk, because he shared it with Mr. Wiggle Mouse when they played chess. 
    Cook’s reply to his complaint reminded him of a festering blister. “Embrace it as served, Sir. I kill vermin, not feed them…Sir.
