130Story: Stem / Style / Duck / Bright / Worn
The rules of 130Story are simple: given a random seed word, write a story in 130 characters.
Stem
In and out of the bathroom all night. Cramps. A fever. Could that all stem from the drumstick I found at the back of the fridge? @130story

Style
You shouldn't "keep schtum" but instead "keep stumm" according to @guardianstyle, the Guardian style guide. I'm saying nothing. @130story

Duck
Good evening, Howard!
Family keeping well, Jemima?
Hi, Donald, always a pleasure.
Claire? What the...? Can't catch me!

Bright
From day one, Jamie glowed. He was his own nightlight. We'd find him under the covers reading tales of Tesla. Such a bright lad. @130story

Worn
These? Those are the Green Flash worn by the great Fred Perry at Wimbledon. He's signed them, see? Priceless. Tenner each? @130story
