130Story: Poll / Rock / Fake / Nail / Sky
The rules of 130Story are simple: given a random seed word, write a story in 130 characters.
Poll
Move your butt, Tomek! There's only five minutes left to vote for the new station commander. Don't take the stairs, fool: slide! @130story

Rock
Li'l Bill, said Dad, it's time. From the west came the comet. Next morning, he saw the rock. Bill still keeps it under his pillow. @130story

Fake
Sucrose? Corn syrup solids? What the heck is carrageenan? I ordered a very vanilla velvet, for goodness sake, not this fake shake! @130story

Nail
These weren't just shelves. Bespoke design and built to last: glue and a screw, belt and braces, not a nail in sight. Thanks, Dad. @130story

Sky
As the tiny plane swooped and soared, so did Kate's heart. Sky writing. MARRY ME KATH XX. Tim glanced up. "Must be somebody else." @130story
