130Story: Tail / Mine / Trade / Fault / Squeeze
The rules of 130Story are simple: given a random seed word, write a story in 130 characters.
Tail
Hi, I'm Ed. We shook. Hey, so am I, said the kid. He grinned at me as the umpire threw the coin in the air. We both called tails. @130story

Mine
Steve McQueen? You were with me, remember? Our Price, now Blacks? Ok, you may have lent me a fiver but that one's definitely mine. @130story

Trade
I traded my Lego for a Scalextric set, then the Scalextric for a Game Boy, then the Game Boy for a laptop. I sure miss that Lego. @130story

Fault
Some weird fault with our microwave makes the iPlayer buffer like crazy. Only when Casualty's finished can we have our Ovaltine. @130story

Squeeze
Those who throw a coin to the creepy squeezebox guy feel oddly elated. Those who pass on by feel a brief tightening of the chest. @130story
