Last week’s challenge: One Random Sentence (winner will be picked later this afternoon).
On a bit of a random kick, so let’s go with that, again.
This time, I give you eight random words:
Saw
Milkshake
Bath
Flowerpot
Wheelchair
Bully
Zoo
Heretic
And you must choose four of these and incorporate them into a piece of flash fiction no more than 1000 words long, posted at your blog or online space by Friday, June 8th, at noon.
Post links here so we can all read.
Get to writing.

OK, so I’m cheating yet again. Chuck will probably throw me off his blog. This is a story I wrote last year, but it already had two of the random words in it, so I couldn’t resist adding the remaining two and redrafting it.
My words: milkshake + flowerpot + bully + zoo . It’s called “One Percent”

Here’s my entry, “The Human Keeper.” I ended up using the words “milkshake,” “zoo,” “heretic,” and “bath.” I hope you all enjoy it:

It may or may not have been written while in a strange state of mind. You’ve been warned. 🙂

Saw, heretic, bath, bully.
My entry’s called “Beyond the Dragon Doors” and the best way to describe it would be as a medieval fantasy versionf of Waiting for Godot.
Kinda.
