The rules of 130Story are simple: given a random seed word, write a story in 130 characters.

Vehicle

"Vehicle. Must be. No other word starts like that."
"But it doesn't fit."
I tried to reason but she was ardent.
Adamant.
Vehement. #130story

Deployed

15 years he's been deployed
Exploring this vast asteroid
Every sample taken
Increasingly forsaken
Not realising he's just a droid#130story

Respect

Mr Largo, Mr Galloway. Mr Galloway, Mr Largo. The heads of Spectre and Respect in the same room at last. Item 1, world domination. #130story

Accident

Assuming that the coast was clear
I lobbed that stone
It arced and bent
And struck my mother on the ear
An awful August accident#130story
