The 5 word story

Post by .Lucy. »

In five words, you have to articulate a thought that can carry an ongoing story each of us will then contribute to. Whatever direction you want to direct the story is up to you, but only 5 words at a time. I'd love to see what you've got!

I'll kick it off:

She ate apples in May.

Totally blown my five word response. I'll have to come back later. At least I'll be laughing on my way to work.

Articulate pancakes rolling my way
sticky sweet butter and syrup.


five words
zero thoughts
period.

fruit and passion, woman's laughter

after the apple is bit

after she leaves the garden

she wears a fig leaf

the fashion industry is born

Later Newton discovers gravity's laws
