COMMON WORD STORY 17 YOU MUST BE PROPER

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. MOONSHINE
  2. MORTICIAN
  3. CANTOR
  4. WHOLESALE
  5. EUCLIDEAN
  6. CAIMAN
  7. DULY
  8. BENNY
  9. COOK
  10. FLICKER
  11. DEPOSE
  12. PLEDGE
  13. INVERSION
  14. POH
  15. MUSTY
  16. AEROPLANE
  17. POLYCHROME
  18. DECREE
  19. EYELASH
  20. ROSEMARY

Here is my story:

A cantor must be duly proper. Benny, who was also a part time
mortician, took a wholesale pledge to abstain from moonshine.
However; in a musty polychrome lab, he cooked up mash into alcohol in
secret. He flavored it with rosemaery and it sold well.
It was an inversion of everything decreed by his religion and position.
When it was revealed, he was deposed from his place in the synogouge.

A Jewish religious singer must be by definition well behaved. Benny, who
was also an undertaker on the side, took a categorical oath to stay away from
strong drink.
However; in a moldy garish lab, he cooked up corn meal into alcohol in secret.
He flavored it with herbs and it sold well.
It was a complete about face from everything demanded by his religion and status.
When it was made known, he was dropped from his job in the congregation.

Concluding Thoughts:

Like tarot cards, random words suggest a story. Here, I put words together into

a somewhat logical story in a workman-like way.
