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. SERVICE
  2. NEURASTHENIA
  3. VAUDEVILLE
  4. TENTATIVE
  5. WET SUIT
  6. ACERBIC
  7. DROP
  8. DIVULGE
  9. PARTAKE
  10. NIGHTCAP
  11. MOON
  12. CONJUNCTIVITIS
  13. FACADE
  14. IRISH
  15. BEAVER
  16. NEAP
  17. HUNGARIAN
  18. GROUP
  19. PRAETOR
  20. INNARDS

Here is my story:

The City of Boston did not divulge its tentative plan to

knock down the long closed vaudeville theather from the 1920’s.
It wrote it would be a service to the downtown area by freeing up space.
They had been met by acerbic resistance from local groups of
descendants of Irish and Hungarian immigrants who had worked there.
The City said it had dropped the plan, then during a full moon,
they sent wreckers to rip out the theater’s innards and tear down
the facade.

The City oproposed plan of Boston did not reveal its proposed

plan to remove the long closed live playhouse theater from the 1920’s.
It wrote be a help to the city center by making more space available.
They had been met by acidic opposition from local groups of
relatives of Irish and Hungarian people who had come to America who
worked there.
The City said it was not going to go forward, then during a full moon,
they sent in the demolishers to tear out the theater’s insides and pull down
its front.
