It’s Thursday, so it’s time for a new story challenge:
Can you tell a story in 30 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:
- ROUNDABOUT
- TROUSERS
- EQUATION
- BEARD
Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 18 words using the following words in it somewhere:
- MARS
- DATE
- NEWSPAPER
Here are your amusing stories:
Seeing him, she hid behind her newspaper, no longer wanting the blind date. She ate her Mars instead.
No newspaper updates regarding arrivals from Mars. Last week illegal aliens threatened the fabric of society. Go figure.
Lynn:
They’ve landed on mars – well I never. Dave checked the date on his newspaper; it was April 1st!
Nicola Daly:
‘I’ve got a hot date on mars,’ he said waving his newspaper as the spaceship revved its engine.
Waking from a deep sleep, grabbed coffee and newspaper, read the date ending in 2035! Headlines: MARS INVASION
My date with Todd was later, so I munched on a Mars bar while scanning the newspaper headlines.
The newspaper’s date was the year 2050, announcing a recent trip to Mars. I was next to go!
Murray Clarke:
According to the latest information in the newspaper, the decomposed Mars bar was several years out of date!
The newspaper wrote this headline: “Date between the god Mars and goddess Venus confirmed!” in their Astrology column.
Squirreljan:
The newspaper headline read: Galaxyworks causing Apollo 11 to be diverted via Mars. Landing date will be delayed.
‘I have just booked a trip to Mars.’
He didn’t look up, just kept on reading his newspaper.
He treated me to deep fried Mars bar and chips wrapped in newspaper. Talk about a hot date!
Sharron P:
The end date of her diet was finally up. Yes! She grabbed a Mars and read the newspaper.
