Twelve word stories...

[Fyrefox]

Using twelve words, write something that could come out of a type of story. Your words may be in the form of one or two sentences. For example:

Ghosts are coming for me now; then they’ll be coming for YOU!

 

[CAKCy]

Ghosts, really, tried coming for me...
They are still running away terrified...

@Fyrefox, do you want us to write a continuing story? Or, is it okay to just pull 12 words out of the air that could be found in various stories?

I'm so happy that we had the chance to meet like this.

 

[MMinSoCal]

It’s so wonderful we met in person versus by virtual dating website.

His slice across her neck guaranteed silence, but what an awful mess!!!

 

[Chris P Bacon]

I have never seen you looking so good as you look tonight!

 

[Sunny]

Would I lie to you? You know I am incapable of lying.

 

[Patch]

A knife sailed through the air, forever silencing the parrot's constant chatter.

 

[MMinSoCal]

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. What are your thoughts?

 

[Patch]

As I felt the handcuffs tightening, hope of ever seeing tomorrow evaporated.

 

[Sunny]

More and more, trips to the supermarket are becoming exercises in futility.

 

[MMinSoCal]

Lately, trips to the gas station have become a painful financial experience.

 

[Patch]

The tornado cut a path through town faster than NASCAR at Daytona.

 

[MMinSoCal]

The Paul Newman Cosmograph Daytona from Rolex sold at auction for $5.5M.

 

[Sunny]

When she opened the box, she knew it wasn't a good idea.

 

[Patch]

Her fingers, steady as Jell-O, defused the bomb disguised as a watch.

 

[Sunny]

But little did she know what was waiting back at her home.

 

[Autumn72]

No one wants to go camping anymore.
I've asked two daughters without success!

 

[Chris P Bacon]

He did the thing that they said could never be done. Tada!

Am I being harassed by 211 for reporting him for smoking pot.
