Seven words....

Take the words - refuse, note, row, light, case, wound, fast - and give them to various writers to put into a story of not more than 500 words and what do you get?

An amazing number of different interpretations of the same group of words.

I was really pleased to take part in this recent project, hosted by the East of the Web short story site - it's just the kind of word play I like, and now I have just spent a happy hour clicking the different links and reading yet another story. Mine is here if you want to get started.

Or, of course, you can always write your own!

Great story. I like the idea and the way the site has laid the stories out with the highlighted word in the circle at the top.

By the way - your link takes you to REFUSE stories, not necessarily yours straight away. I had to refresh a few times to find yours and read a few good ones on the way!

Thanks Jem. And getting other stories is no bad thing - there are some great ones there as you found!
