Can You Tell A Story In…

Here’s a new story challenge for you:

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

  • HICCUP
  • GOWN
  • CLUB
  • BEDROOM
  • SHADOW
  • CARROT

Last week’s prompt was to tell a story in 22 words using the following words in it somewhere:

  • CHILDISH
  • HOTDOG
  • TOE

Here are your amusing stories:

Christopher Farley:

She said I was childish for pretending to stick my toe in her hotdog; I said it could have been much worse.

Nicola Daly:

Feeling grown up, I pinched my sister’s high heel sandals. I felt so childish when I dropped a hotdog on my toe.

Murray Clarke:

Algernon decided it would be childish to smother his hotdog in tomato ketchup and mustard, and then eat it with his toe.

Kim Smyth:

Childish Gambino was chowing down on a hotdog before the show. As he made his way on stage, he stubbed his toe!

Tessa:

Flinging my hotdog angrily when I stubbed my toe was a childish thing to do. Now I have nothing else to eat.

Darlene:

“Don’t be so childish and eat your hotdog.”

“I can’t, it looks gross.”

“I don’t care if it looks like a toe.”

The Bag Lady:

“Don’t be so childish! Of course your big toe doesn’t look like a hotdog! By the way, is our dinner ready yet?”

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

I was playing a game of hotdog toe, sillier and more childish than tik tak toe! And with added mustard and onions!

Squirreljan:

Ketchup from my chucked hotdog splattered her toes.

“Childish twit,” she said, winking. “I only asked what’s so hot about a sausage?”

Treehugger:

The hot dog rolled off the barbie, In a childish manner, I flicked it with my big toe back onto the grill.

Sharron P:

“Yuk. Shan’t eat it!” Mandy stamped her foot, stubbing her toe. “Ow!”

“It’s only a hotdog. You’re fifty-three! So childish,” Mum said.

  3. I hiccuped as I entered the bedroom.- even though I only had sipped one drink at the club. My gown cast a shadow on the floor, so I missed the carrot that my Fifi dropped on the floor. Why can’t she leave her food in the bowl? That silly dog!

  4. I have the darn hiccups and no sugar packets to help. I will have to see if a carrot stick might help do the trick.

    I changed out of my nightgown, and after dressing, I picked up the club to whack whatever was making that shadow on my bedroom door.

      1. What’s even funnier was that I had the hiccups while I was writing it. LOL!

    I was hiding in an attic bedroom at my club. The bent creature strode into the room; the streetlight outside casting the shadow of its flowing gown, its huge carrot-like proboscis, and teeth, bared in anticipation. The feast I’d eaten arose, erupting in an enormous hiccup. He turned, I screamed.

        Thanks, Esther. Strangely, I struggled to reach 50 words to start with. 🙂

  6. My carrot-coloured hair dominated my appearance .I got ready in my bedroom for an evening at the club .Without a shadow of a doubt ,I would be the belle of the ball. I donned my silver gown, downed a whisky, gave a slight hiccup and headed out for the evening.

  7. I had eaten some raw carrot and started to hiccup. I decided to go to bed. I put on my nightgown and walked through the shadowy bedroom. I got a glass of water from the night stand and sipped it slowly. Then I held my breath…. The spasms soon stopped.
