For those who like to tell stories. The idea is to take a given sentence and use it as the opening to a story that you write - but your story must be fifty words or less (not including the original sentence).

It looked like death.

NO! I AM DEATH.

Oh crap, it was death.

THAT IS A PROPER NOUN. IT SHOULD BE A CAPITAL 'D'.

The Principal laughed. He hoped this English Teacher might be able to last a lot longer will class 7B than the last one.

I sighed, went into the dining-room and regarded the small figure pointing at my bemused son.

“I am not your mother and you can’t eat cake”, I said firmly. “Now either hoover the carpet, or sit still in the corner”.

With any luck the robot repair guy would arrive soon.

I was hoping that was the case when I jumped over the fence to retrieve my hat. It was my favorite fedora. We had met before in a dark alley. I took something from him.

Almost there. Got it. DAMN he remembers me. Run. Leap. Catch. SQUEEZE. Eyes go black.

The 'e' on my typewriter was stuck.

Dammmit! Ecstacy tablets weren't cheap.
I started licking it off only to get my tongue caught in the typewriter ribbon. I did get most of the 'e' instuck though and went out.

The next rave I went to, everyone had black tongues. You never know how a trend will start.

It was Monday. There's nothing good about that statement. Tell me that there is! It's like hearing your secretary say,"Oh Mr Smith, I had to move your 10am root canal back to 2pm because your proctologist called and he said they can fit you in for the colonoscopy after all... but worse.

I knew this place like the back of my hand.

Of course that was before I lost my left hand in that incident with the alligator. Poking it to see if it was real or not. It was real, just sleeping. It woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

You won't believe what happened to my right hand.

You won't believe what happened to my right hand.

So, I was innocently getting some eggs out of the refrigerator, when Lucy said from behind me, "Looking for something?" I jumped a foot, then slammed the door shut. On my hand. I swear, I didn't know it was HER refrigerator!

And she made me clean the broken eggs, too.

It wasn't until after several Prairie Martinis that Delia begin to wear the saloon and the piano player, Philbert, began to wear the Chanel original. That was when you knew the real fun was about to begin and big, (and I mean big), Jimmy came out from behind the bar to spell it out for us all, using Delia of course. Yep, I tell you those were the good ol' days.

It reminded him of times he would ride with grandma. She would pick him up from school and they would go for icecream and sodas. Sometimes she would buy him bubble gum too.

They would stop at the bank afterwards, grandma would drive fast when she ran out of there.
