How’s your week been? Busy, I expect. Life just seems to be jam-packed, doesn’t it? Here is a new story challenge for you to squeeze in:
Can you tell a story in 38 words? You must use the following words somewhere in the story:
- HULLABALOO
- QUEUE
- SLUG
- BEAM
- WAFFLE
The previous prompt was to tell a story in 15 words using the following words in it somewhere:
- BUCKET
- MESSAGE
Here are your clever stories:
Nicola Daly:

Ryan noticed that the message in the bucket said, “Don’t read this.”
So, he didn’t.
My bucket list will never be crossed off until my message to repent is delivered.

Murray Clarke:
It has always been on my bucket list to send a message in a bottle.

No message in a bottle.
Beneath the old oak, a forgotten bucket held a message: “Love always finds its way.”
He didn’t know the lyrics. At the pub karaoke he sang Message in a Bucket.

Wilf Leahy:
What do you mean the bucket is the message? You want me to fill it.
It seemed she’d simply kicked the bucket. The message on the mirror said otherwise.
’Bitch!’
