VOCABULARY - COMMON WORD STORY 31 THE THEORY OF TIME

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. HOROLOGY
  2. BROGUE
  3. ACHROMATIC
  4. IMPLANT
  5. PROSPECT
  6. INTERLARD
  7. COLANDER
  8. RIP
  9. CONDOM
  10. CAPRICCIO
  11. SLEAZY
  12. MONSIGNOR
  13. THEORY
  14. SHRED
  15. DECIDUOUS
  16. IVY
  17. ADRENALINE
  18. RATLINE
  19. WOVE

Here is my story:

Horology is woven into today's society. It's like a clock

is implanted in our brains. However; ancient people made do without
a shred of modern time-keeping.
They kept time by observing the growing ivy or the fall of
deciduous leaves. The prospect of no clocks would rip society,
leaving it bland and achromatic.

Time keeping is imbedded into today's society. It's like

a clock is part of our brains. However; anciet people made without
even a bit of modern time keeping.
They kept time by looking at growing plants or the fall of
tree leaves. The idea of no clocks would tear society, leaving it bland
and colorless.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

This is an enjoyable thing to do; writing a story and then

rephrasing it.
