COMMON WORD STORY 30 OFF TO THE PRISON

This is a writing exercise using common words. I have collected a list of 17,000

words. From this I have chosen twenty words at random. The exercise is to write a story with
at least ten of them. I have included my story along with a translation into other words.

Here is the list:

  1. MAMMOGRAM
  2. CONNING TOWER
  3. PILFER
  4. SPELL
  5. FINERY
  6. APPORTION
  7. BOURGEOIS
  8. THENCE
  9. BUTT
  10. LURCH
  11. WHITEOUT
  12. SCRAPE
  13. ZYGOTE
  14. COMPLY
  15. IMPI
  16. FECUND
  17. CARDIOVASCULAR
  18. METER
  19. FORESTER
  20. DIALOGUE

Here is my story:

The conning tower of the prison cast a weird spell over

the landscape. Each guard was apportioned a sector of the
wall to watch. The spotlight lurched around.
The prisoners comply with rules without a scrap of dignity.
If you impinge on the laws, pilfer anything, you will find yourself
in front of a judge in his finery and thence to this place.

The observation tower of the prison had a strange effect on the

scene. Each guard was assigned a part of the wall to watch. The
spotlight bumped around.
The prisoners follow the rules without a bit of self-respect.
If you break the law - steal anything, you will find yourself in
front of a judge in his nice clothes and then off to this place.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Try this exercise.
