VSS365 | FUN WRITING CHALLENGE

Ten 10-word Stories

Drawn by author using Krita 5, License: CC BY 4.0

note: This is a new writing challenge started by Sheri Jacobs in this post of hers. I believe the title says it all. She challenged us to write one 10-word story but I’m going to write ten; I like concise and succinct posts but not that concise and succinct. So, without further ado:

#1 A German walks into a bar. He never walks out.

#2 Vampire Lestad targeted the princess. Alas, her fangs bit deeper.

#3 The lovers eloped. But it was harder than they hoped.

#4 The two armies prepared for battle. The order never came.

#5 To drink coffee or Atropa belladonna? That is the question.

#6 “The police arrived Tom.” “They are here for you Sharon.”

#7 Inspector Ono was dumbfounded. His crime scene made no sense.

#8 He slipped on his pride and fell on his honor.

#9 Whoever moves is dead! This is a cat-maid cafe robbery!

#10 She was dumb as a stump but a Perfect 10.

I challenge (for one 10-word story or however you want) the following 20 wordweavers:

-cassandra David Perlmutter Thief Benighted Lee David Tyrrell Walter Bowne Katemiya Brian Lageose Inna Orjola FJCMontenegro Cathylouise Cheri Elkin Lo Everlasting Kristen Haveman Zane Dickens Paul Mansfield Julie KingGood Jo Frances Matthews Athena Milios JF Danskin

and whoever else wants to join. Keep the words flowing ☺️
