Here are your super stories:
Niki Daly:
‘Get me another vodka from the minibar. These muddled up words make me all squeamish.’
‘They’re anagrams.’
‘Like I said – muddled up words. Cheers.’
At the minibar, Greg listened while squeamish Ken pontificated: “‘Dog’ is an anagram of ‘God’.”
“Your point?”
“Well, you know … maybe … yeah!” Ken explained.
Murray Clarke:
Esther struggled with her latest anagram puzzle. The word “minibar” hurt her BRAIN; and “squeamish” sent her rushing to fetch a glass of SQUASH!
Ravi feeling squeamish
Caused by horrid stink
Paused Sitar. Found minibar
Poured himself a drink
Shankar was a Raga Man
(An anagram I think)
The cryptic anagram made me a bit squeamish, yet I was bound to it. Go to the minibar and order a shot of Fireball.
I pulled a face in disgust.
‘Don’t be so squeamish, it’s Beamish. There’s nothing else in the minibar.’
Minibar? Mi brain. There’s an anagram.
Solving anagrams is a skill.I only found amiss out of squeamish.My anagram talents are minimal,but my brain was useful for minibar.
Theft from the minibar was prohibited. But though I was squeamish I still needed a drink of reeb to get over anagramitis! Yerv dod!
Gypsie’s Wonderful World of Words:
An anagram is not a monogram
and never a squeamish telegram.
But beware that fully stocked minibar
your favorite red-rum may become a murder!
Hotel minibars are OK, but prices are not for the squeamish.
Pete installed his own as he pondered his anagram puzzles on the throne.
Squeamish about the minibar choices, Jess discovered an anagram for “drink.” With a sigh, she mixed a cocktail, embracing her fears and laughter.
Walking into the minibar, she saw a challenge on the chalkboard: Free drinks to anyone who can make an anagram of the word squeamish!
Writer’s buzz word: MINIBAR – Mind Is Numb, It’s Beyond All Repair. Blurry eyes, headache, feeling squeamish. The anagram reminder to let the body recharge.
Saloon door sign: Don’t be squeamish – enter anagram contest – win a minibar for your home. I said I just wanted a ragaman. I won!
In the hotel restaurant, I got squeamish over a diner’s escargot. Minibar bourbon and writing anagrams of the names of booze improved my night.
Staggering, my scrambled brain unscrambles that anagram: gonastishin… yes, astonishing! I open the minibar door and wretch squeamish. My pungent prawn sandwich wins. Blech!
Squinting and squeamish, I try to decipher the anagram:
“I’M BRIAN”.
Haha! Now I know! It’s where I spend most of my time:
“MINIBAR”!
Here are a couple of stories inside or outside the word limit but using all the prompts:
Feeling squeamish after a long night at the minibar, my thoughts ran to the anagram which spelled relief.
