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

Holy

Stew some gooseberries. Allow to cool. Fold in whipped cream and then, in the name of all that is holy, you have yourself a fool. #130story

Suspicious

By a noose of rough cord sits a vintage chessboard with a favourite endgame of Fischer's. So nothing remotely suspicious. #130story

Trader

"Born Lippy" reads his market sign. Tom Ford you can afford, Chanel for chicken feed. He's known to the council as a rouge trader. #130story

Wireless

Automated milking machines but lousy broadband at the in-laws' farm. Best signal is by the barn that houses the wireless rooster. #130story

Combat
