The Entertainer
Cap in hand, Dusty tried to walk a straight line along the narrow strip of road the police officers had laid out before him, but it was hard, not only because he was dead drunk, but also because he was pissed off that the lead cop seemed to be on a power trip and expected Dusty to entertain him, which made him decide to do just that, somehow, though he couldn’t walk a straight line to save his soul, executing a perfect pirouette before unloading his spaghetti dinner onto the officer’s shoes.
I decided to challenge myself. I hadn’t written a one-sentence story in quite a while. So I took eight randomly generated words and used them in a one-sentence tale of exactly one hundred words.
The prompt words were strip, entertain, lead, narrow, dusty, cap, power, and spaghetti.
It was sheer luck finding the image for the story. For those of you who might not know, the DWI task force exists to eliminate drunk driving.
A well-executed story, Dascha! This seems like a fun challenge. I’ll have to give it a whirl soon.
A cute story although I imagine the police officer did not like the ending 😉
