VOCABULARY - COMMON WORD STORY 34

TOWNSTONE THE TOWN THAT WOULD NOT DIE 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. ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM
  2. REEVE
  3. HIGHLIGHT
  4. CRAWL
  5. BARITONE
  6. ALL
  7. POULTICE
  8. EPHAH
  9. CYST
  10. BOP
  11. DIZZY
  12. RIME
  13. HUSBANDRY
  14. BEAK
  15. FLAPJACK
  16. BAGEL
  17. HALL
  18. WHENCE
  19. GRIT
  20. SYNAESTHESIA

Here is my story:

Tombstone is a town in Arizona whence came all the grit

of the cowboy days. Scene of the fight at the OK corral.
A highlight is the opera house, a hall where baritones
once sang. In the saloon, dizzy cowboys crawled after being
bopped in the head. In the canteen, flapjacks where flipped
and a bun, the ancestor of today’s bagel was made.

Tombstone is a town in Arizona where all the grit
of the cowboy days came. Place of the fight at the OK corral.
A main feature is the opera house, a hall where opera singers
once sang. In the saloon, woozy cowboys went on their knees after being
hit in the head. In the kitchen shack, flapjacks where turned
and a bun, the predecessor of today’s bagel was made.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

See if you can made another story with the same word list.
