Jenny Matlock,
you are my hero!
Seriously!
I taught English for about 400 years
and never learned your little trick!
Why didn't I think of it?
Now, I supervise student teachers
for a state university,
so I can teach them Jenny's wonderful tactic!
You know the worst part of teaching English?
The grading of papers.
Miles and miles of papers to read!
Then Jenny came up with this ingenious idea
to write stories which are only 100 words!
Brilliant!
And what does she do when she is really busy?
She simply changes the word length to 25 words!
Jenny is the master!
Surely everyone can think of 25 words...
not including the three words in the prompt.
Heck...
Jenny gives us a whole week to write it!
Even you can do this assignment!
Seriously...
even you!
Come on!
Join us at Saturday Centus!
This week's prompt:
"the lottery ticket"
Here is my contribution for the week.
___________________________________________________________
I slipped into galoshes and rubber gloves.
This nasty secret would remain between me and the bitch.
I found it intact in the fifth pile...
the lottery ticket.
