Esther’s Challenge – Can You Tell A Story In . . .

Posted on 16 December 2021 by Lance Greenfield

It is Thursday and time for your latest five-word story challenge from Esther Chilton. 

This is an open invitation to all of my followers and Esther’s to have some fun with words.

Today is my birthday, which I have the honour to share with Ludwig van Beethoven, Arthur C Clarke, Jane Austen and Catherine of Aragon.

Before I proceed any further down the slippery path of relating more events that happened on this day in history, allow me to introduce Esther’s latest challenge to you all. It is to tell a story in five words, using the word SLIDE in it somewhere.

Here are a few starters for you:

Don’t let the opportunity slide

Lubrication guarantees a smooth slide

From the shadows they slide

Helter-skelter slide is exciting ride

Please post your submissions in the Comments on this post.

Lance and Esther

    Glissando is a musical slide?
    Don’t let Lance’s birthday slide!
    The slide was very tall
    She slipped down the slide
    Side to side they slide
    Ice-skating is for experienced slide-rs
    She slid into a slide!

    Happy birthday, Lance. If I’d known, I’d have chosen the word ‘birthday’!

    Tears slide down my cheeks
    Mount up! Ride and slide!
    Holiday slides can be boring
    Holiday slides can be interesting
    Business slide presentations contain clichés
    Death is the final slide
    He slides through my fingers
    Let it all slide out
    His fingers slide between mine
    Pleasure slides into me
    Can you write a slide headline?

    Ice skaters slide in synchronicity
    Safety spoilsports felled tall slides
    Humiliatingly stuck on water slide
