Abdul was considering the 72 virgins that would attend to his every need as he pulled the rented truck loaded with fertilizer onto the busy boulevard.
Across the street I found a twenty dollar bill on the sidewalk. I RULE!!!!
The End.
(Good job Judy! You are a bright one. The point of this thread is to write a complete story in as few of words as possible.)

The plane was being tossed around like a leaf in the wind. Finally a huge gust from the storm ripped the last engine off the wing of the airliner. The cabin grew deathly quiet as the plane plummeted towards the ground. Shirley leaned back in her seat and thought of how much time she wasted this morning folding the towels. The End.

A True Story:
Billy rented a townhouse next to tidy neighbours. Billy liked to leave his garbage all over his front yard. He piled up 20 full garbage bags there over the next 3 months. Cats, dogs, mice and cockroaches came. The landlord sent him a letter. He put the garbage in the trash cans. Billy piled up 15 more full garbage bags on his front yard during the next 2 months. The landlord sent him a letter. Billy put the garbage in the trash cans. Billy piled up 10 more full garbage bags on his front yard during the next month. The landlord sent him another letter. Billy put all his trash and some of his stuff in the garbage cans and a truck came for the rest of it. Billy doesn’t live there anymore. THE END. -

Betsy and Gill were at the supermarket for their weekly shopping trip. This was like a date for them. They had a few minutes to talk with each other without the children interrupting.
Gill asks, “Do we need more laundry detergent?”
Betsy answers, “I think we have enough to last till next week.”
Gill says, “Why don’t we pick some up anyway? It’s not like the world is going to end and we aren’t going to use it.”
Later that evening, the world ended and Betsy and Gill were stuck with laundry detergent they will never ever use.
The End.

Tears streamed into Wendy’s eyes as she neatly packed her two suitcases. She was at a crossroads and she needed some time to think. Carl was a good man but she did not think she could stay married to the type of person who would eat the last three Rice Krispie treats. The End.

The plastic berry pails thumped on the handlebars of the bicycle as Alice climbed the path to the saskatoon bushes. Suddenly a doe scrambled hastily through the meadow grass and flashed past the trees and beyond the fence. The bicycle continued along the path till it came to the little fawn, lying dead with its neck twisted and bitten. The leaves of the bushes nearby rustled. The bicycle scrambled hastily along the path and flashed past the trees and beyond the fence.

As Jeremy gnawed through the leather straps which bound his arms, he thought to himself, “No matter how much the ink blot on the Rorshach Test looks like two naked nuns chasing an elephant down a long dark tunnel armed with bananas, you are almost always better off answering, ‘A butterfly’.” The End

Alec’s heart pounded; it had always been his ambition to be a member of a secret society, and tonight was his initiation. Insights would be revealed, ancient mysteries laid bare. He stood on the dais, black cloak about his shoulders, curved blade held aloft in his right hand, his left holding back the goat’s head. At that moment, the president of the Rotary Club informed Alec that he could simply take his seat.

Robert’s foot fell through the rotted webbing of the chair seat as he twisted in the light bulb. As he fell through the air he reached out and slapped the light switch on. Light flooded the room. There was no noise as the executioners bullet ripped through the open window fulfilling its mission.

As Eileen scornfully eyed her long-suffering music teacher, she thought how easy it would be to cancel her stupid music lessons and dump this teacher.
Mrs. Evens cleared her throat and read the Studio Guidelines, including the student’s responsibilities of courtesy, co-operation and effort.
As Eileen’s scorn changed to startled awareness, embarrassment and respect, Mrs. Evans eyed her often troublesome student, and thought how easy it would be to cancel her music lessons and dump this student. -

The green duffel bag tugged a little tear when it got caught on the nail. As the man walked, the bag jostled about and the tear became a rip. His booty of stolen hybrid corn seeds began to fall out. The hybrid corn seed was evidently tasty. No criminal charges were ever filed as the animal kingdom balanced the scales of justice.
Now what do we do with 6 foot squirrels and 10 foot wing span crows?

People called Leonard a monster. Sure he was large. And he was very hairy. The sharp teeth didn’t help. Leonard also lived in a cave, and only came out at night to feast on the blood of new born babies, but he had feelings too and this really hurt. Who here is the real monster?

Love. Is it really just a game? Tim’s little inkling became infatuation and soon thereafter an office romance blossomed between himself and Donna. Wedding invitations were sent and the big day passed without incident. Now, nine months later, the population of Discordia has grown by one. The extinction of our species has once again been averted.

God saw that the wickedness of the Earth was very great.
God sent Jesus Christ to be the Saviour of the world.
Jesus Christ came to the Earth, lived a perfect life, and suffered and died for the atonement of sinners.
Jesus Christ rose from the dead by the mighty power of God.
He ascended into heaven, where He is now at the right hand of God Almighty.
From hence, He shall come to judge the living and the dead, and to reign over all.
Even so, come Lord Jesus!(Have a Blessed Easter!)

Edna tried and tried to sight-read that piano piece. She focussed on her finger-technic with the utmost concentration, but she still made constant mistakes.
Suddenly, insight dawned. “Well, maybe if I watched the [B]notes[/B] instead of my hands”, she said.(a true story)

It was tough for Willy; first an egg, then a worm (some close calls there), then a pupae, now an emerging adult. But the radioactive fallout from Japan had given Willy something unusual…super powers.
Yup…Willy could read.
So it wasn’t long before he found the buffer zone signs that said: “No Pesticides/Herbicides on this land”. And Willy entered paradise.
However, due to the fact that the birds had also entered paradise, Willy had a short lifespan there. But he was happy up till the moment the robin saw him. -

we put 2 catapillers in a liter soda bottle (empty, of course) and got to watch them turn into polka-dot wasp moths! It was really neat to watch. They look exactly like they sound. black with white polka-dots that look like a wasp but are really a moth! you can google them to see what they look like! 🙂

I walked confidently down the road. As I approached the monumental distance of a half mile out, my feet suffered from the pain. I sat down. I got a ride back to the house. I took pills. I slept.
and, as we all know. “Tomorrow is just another day!”
Thanks Scarlett

Two squirrels made the journey from tree to tree across the yard. By traveling in this manner they artfully dodged the dogs that hounded them on the ground. As they scurried across the newly shingled roof to their usual entry point in the roof they dashed inside the attic. Little did they know, a black snake had just entered the same hole. After a titanic struggle, the forces of nature once again took their course.
You can’t have your squirrel and eat it too

Edna’s phone-line had been dead for a week, so she made the necessary arrangements (via the neighbour’s phone) to have it serviced on Tuesday. She later double-checked the date with the company. The serviceman arrived early Monday morning. It took him all morning to install new phone lines in the backyard. While he was still out there, Edna’s phone rang. It was a voice-message from the phone company, reminding her that a serviceman would be there Tuesday to fix her phone, and to be sure to be home, or have someone over the age of 18 there.
Edna gently hung up the phone, baffled.(a true story)

With the golf ball teed high the golfer moved swiftly and powerfully through the impact zone driving the ball straight and true. His subsequent arrest reinforces the concept that you don’t hit golf balls at the President’s red bus.

Edna thought that she’d spend her weekend just sleeping. But after every few hours, she’d wake up needing to go to the bathroom. So as Nature dictated her sleeping/waking activities, she decided to trick her mind into thinking of it as a ‘pacer’ such as the marathon swimmers use. However, the thought of water made her go to the bathroom even more often.

Bobby received an invitation to his 35th HS reunion. Since he left town after graduation and had not returned, he was at first curious about how he was found. He relented, and typed up a synopsis of his life since he left, and realized that although challenging, his life was good.
He still didn’t go, but he felt better. -
Not true. Those who are committed to helping others deal with the serious illnesses of GBS and CIDP are still here.

I guess folks are wandering back, on the CIDP side activity just seems so slow. I mean the ones who are here do good things, Just not as many of them. Sometimes updates are golden and sometimes they lay eggs. I try to check on the facebook site as possible, maybe that will reach more folks over time.

There once was a great gbs-cidp site. It changed format and many members couldn’t access the forum anymore. But after more than a hundred tries for over a year, and one reply from the site with a new password, this long-term member has now been able to access the forum again.
The End….no, not the end, thank goodness!

In addition to GBS/CIDP, Edna had asthma. Over the years, many kind well-wishers had given her beautiful candles for a Christmas gift, which she’d carefully saved in her gift drawer. Christmas was coming soon, but times were hard now, money was tight, and it was too expensive to give gifts. Until she opened that gift drawer, and started wrapping!
