Similar to "The Impossible Paragraph," this is another challenge we did in my high school creative writing class. We did 10 nouns, but I feel like 5 nouns would be more appropriate for this thread, to make it simpler and easier.

How this game works is that one person with list 5 nouns, and the person to post after them will have to write a short story that includes those 5 nouns in some kind of meaningful way. You cannot simply mention them randomly, they need to tie into the plot somehow. Please underline your nouns when you use them for the first time to make it easier for readers. At the end of your post, be sure to list 5 nouns for the next person!

The story can be as short or long as you'd like, as long as all of the nouns are included, and the story makes sense.

Since this is the opening post, I don't have a set of nouns to write a story about, so I will just supply 5 for the next person in line. Your 5 nouns are bread, phone booth, cat, headphones, and lamp. Good luck!

Oh this'll work. I know how to write the daily routine of a simplistic cartoon cat.

Jeffrey was one such cat. Not just any cat mind you, he was a prolific business cat. No one else could do accounting quite like Jeffrey, and he continued to climb the corporate ladder and prosper. One morning he began his routine as usual, a cup of coffee, putting on his tie, he didn't wear anything besides the tie, for he was but a humble doodle cat. He did have an iPod though, and he donned on his headphones and made his way outside. The bus would be arriving soon, but Jeffrey was confident he would make it on time.

So he made his way down the street, listening to the classics of Kevin MacLeod, briefcase in hand, enjoying the wonderful day, when suddenly he was assaulted by a wild dog! Dogs of this world were not quite as intellectually gifted as the cats, it looked like this one was primed for attack! How would Jeffrey bypass this obstacle? No other option remained, he would sacrifice a portion of his lunch as bait to allow him to pass. So he opened up his briefcase and hurled the bread forth at the ferocious dog! The dog doesn't even address the bread, and the revelation hits Jeffrey... dogs don't eat bread. The dog in question can now smell Jeffrey's fear enzymes, and charges forth! He runs and runs in the other direction, with the dog in hot pursuit. With no other choice, Jeffrey commits a terrible crime in order to escape the dog... jaywalking. He sprints across the street, evading any oncoming traffic. The dog on the other hand played enough frogger to know where this was going, and chose to abstain from chasing Jeffrey any longer. He got up off his hands and found a nearby bench to do his crossword of the day. What, can't a dog just let loose once in a while and chase a cat like the good old days?

At this point there was no question about it, Jeff would miss his bus. Reluctantly, he had to inform his employers. His iPod couldn't make a call, cause you know, Apple, so he found a phone booth to contact the company and tell them he would be late for work, but would arrive soon enough. However, now Jeffrey was lost, he seemed to have stumbled into the squatter's side of town. The last thing he wanted was to end up getting mugged or something before he could find his way back. Quickly he shuffled forward through the streets, trying to avoid confrontation. Unfortunately he was called to the attention of a zebra in a trench coat who wanted to sell Jeffrey some "candy". Jeffrey saw enough drug PSA's to understand where this was going, there was no way he was going to take this a step furth-"wait is that banana laffy taffy?"
"Yes, only the best for my customers."
"I'll take 20"
This meeting worked especially well for Jeffrey, he never would have expected such a kind gesture from a stranger. This filled the small cat with hope, and he strode forward, his spirits ever higher, as he munched on 3 packlet's worth of taffy.

Then Jeffrey woke up 11 hours later under the lighting of a street lamp. There was some baaaad stuff in that taffy. He was devastated, he always promised his mother he would stay clean, and now he missed a whole day of work due to this dalliance. Interestingly enough, his loyal colleagues from work were concerned by his absence, and after work went searching the city for him. Soon Marcus the panda found Jeffrey stumbling through the streets, it was a sad sight, he was dirty, dazed, he didn't have shoes on... he never had shoes on, but as mentioned this was a particularly filthy street. He gave him a ride home, hoping he would be ready to work the next day. His friends gave him the support he needed to make sure he stayed off the beaten path of drugs, and an investigation began over the drug dealing zebra. When he was apprehended, he swore he was just a candy salesman trying to make a difference in this depressing world of ours. Sure enough, all his inventory was just candy, and most of it seemed to be free, but upon further inspection the taffy was apparently laced with cat nip, explaining Jeffrey's trip.

Also the nerds were actually sugar-coated bits of cocaine.

At this point there was only one logical conclusion, Willy Wonka was secretly a drug addict, spreading his malevolent goods across the nation. The FBI cracked down on his factories, and faced the ensuing onslaught of oompaloompas defending their homelands. It would take many months for the scourge to be wiped from the face of the earth, but at last they were victorious. Remember everyone...

WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS


This is just the high note of my day isn't it, writing a biography for my gif?

Guide, worker, dictionary, image, pocket. Good luck to thee.

There once was a man named John. John's had a rather uninteresting life. He lived in a small house with his wife and two young kids, in a boring suburban town. He worked and provided money for his family, while his wife stayed home with the kids. Every day he drive 40 minutes to the dictionary factory, where he was a worker. His job was to check all of the finished dictionaries to make sure they were printed correctly. Every day, for 10 hours a day, he would skim through the same version of the dictionary over and over again. He hated his job, but it payed well, and he need to take care of his family.

One day, something unusual happened. For the first time ever, one of the dictionaries had a printing error. This wasn't a normal error, though. The text wasn't messed up, nor were the pages blank. Instead, every page had the image on it, and nothing else. The image was that of his own house.

John freaked out, and dropped the book, unsure of what to do. He considered taking it to his boss, but decided against it. This wasn't a mistake, someone was clearly either messing with John, or trying to tell him something.

He picked up the next dictionary and began to look through it. It also had a single image printed on each page, like the previous one. This time, however, it wasn't a picture of his house. It was a picture of his wife.

Terrified, John dropped the book on the floor and frantically picked up the next one. It had a picture of his two kids. John looked around the factory, but he was the only one there. "Who is doing this to me?" He screamed. "What do you want from me?" There was no answer.

He paced back and forth for a bit, thinking of what to do next. Hesitantly, he picked up the next dictionary. This one didn't have any images in it. Instead, printed on every page was a single phrase: "Check your pocket."

John reached into the pockets of his work uniform, and felt a folded piece of paper in his left pocket. He quickly pulled the paper out and unfolded it. It was a map of the city. On the map was a thick red line drawn with a marker. The line led from the dictionary factory to a location about a mile away, which was labeled with a big X. On the top of the map, written in the same red marker, were the words "Follow this guide or they die."

John rushed out of the factory and got into his car, and began to speed towards the location marked with the X. The location turned out to be an abandoned warehouse, in an unsafe part of town. John got out of his car and ran towards the warehouse. He went inside, and saw his wife and kids tied up and gagged at the other end of it. He ran towards them, relieved that they were still alive, but before he could get to them he was shot in the leg. He screamed out in pain, and a mysterious man holding a gun appeared.

The man, whose face was completely covered by a ski mask, swiftly ran towards John and tied him up the same way his family was. The man then removed the mask, and John gasped. It was his boss.

"Quite the predicament you've gotten yourself into here wouldn't agree John?" he asked. John didn't answer. "You're probably wondering why I'm doing this." Again, John remained silent. "I know you were the one that killed my wife, John. I know it was you. So I'm going to make you feel the same pain I've felt every day for the past two months." John looked up in shock. "What? No!" He exclaimed. "Do whatever you want to me, just let them go!" John's boss chuckled. "I'm afraid it's too late for that John." John's boss then turned, and fired his gun at John's family. John screamed out, as tears streamed down his face. "Fortunately for you, you won't have to deal with the pain as long as I had to." John's boss said. He shot John in the head. He then put the gun up to his own head, and pulled the trigger.

That was a lot darker than I anticipated lol. I had no idea where I was going with it, it just kind of came together as I was writing.

Here are 5 nouns for the next person: Backpack, hammer, flashlight, radio, microwave.
