Can You Tell A Story In…

Well, it’s nearly the end of another week. I hope your week has gone well. Here is a new story challenge for you:

Can you tell a story in 15 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:

  • BUCKET
  • MESSAGE

The previous prompt was to tell a story in 21 words using the following words in it somewhere:

  • FIEND
  • YOGA
  • PARROT

Here are your funny stories:

Frank Hubney:

The yoga fiend wanted to parrot a tall tree.

He stood on one foot. He raised his arms.

He fell down.

Trentpmcd:

Skip that yoga studio.  Screams from a hellish fiend broke out whenever we did a downward dog.  They have a parrot…

Kim Smyth:

That fiend pet parrot of mine squawed at me the whole time I was doing my yoga. I couldn’t focus! Relax…

Treehugger:

Blackbeard was a cruel fiend. He made his parrot dance the hornpipe on as yoga mat to earn a juicy apple.

John W. Howell:

The parrot finished his yoga and decided that a fiend howl would be a fun wake up call at three AM.

Robbie’s Inspiration:

She looked like an angel but she had black wings and a rusty halo, reminiscent of a fiend in a book.

Murray Clarke:

Auntie Mabel’s pliable parrot was a fiend for yoga. Oh dear! That’s only NINE words! What else can I write, Esther?

Tessa:

What a fiend! My pet parrot ate all his fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds and pellets while I was doing my yoga.

Darlene:

Let’s do yoga, let’s do yoga, my parrot kept repeating. He’s been such a fiend since I broke my hip.

The Bag Lady:

“I loathe yoga classes where she keeps that fiend of a parrot! He repeats, “Deep breaths”, and the bell chimes!”

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Fiend (a strange horrific monster)
Parrot (multi coloured bird)
Yoga (note to follow parrot)
Which will bring us back to Fiend!

Pensivity101:

The yoga instructor was not only a fitness fiend, but repeated each movement like a parrot which drove the class nuts!

Fedesponderings:

The anxious parrot needed some relief. A break from her mind. After researching, she discovered wellness, becoming a fiend for yoga.

Therapy Bits:

In a sunlit room, a yoga fiend stretched beside a colorful parrot, their energies entwined, laughter echoing, peace blossoming in harmony.

Sexagenarian Scribbler:

Practising my yoga whilst trying to watch Sleeping Beauty on the tele, the parrot squawking ‘Fiend, fiend!’ at Maleficent isn’t helping!

Christopher Farley:

I tried on my new yoga pants but that fiend of a parrot whistled and said, “Who’s a pretty boy, then?”

Ann Edall-Robson:

The parrot sat on his perch in the yoga studio. When the instructor said, “Breath,” the bird squawked, “you yogi fiend.”

Wilf Leahy:

My friend has a parrot that is a fiend and laughs when she is doing yoga and swears when she stops.

The Elephant’s Trunk:

My yoga instructor’s a fiend. She taught her parrot to repeat “think deep”; this deep thinking’s got me all twisted up!

Sharon’s Writers Tidbits:

‘I’ll show you yoga, you fiend!’ the parrot hissed. ‘Let me out of this cage, before I create a real racket!’

    It seemed she’d simply kicked the bucket. The message on the mirror said otherwise.
