The rules of 130Story are simple: given a random seed word, write a story in 130 characters.

Sun

August 1999. Crowds on the Civic Drive roundabout gazing heavenwards. Obscured by clouds, we trooped back in humming Bonnie Tyler. @130story

Line

Dead railway track along the dockside. Starts by the cafe, goes 200m, stops by the flats. Massively parallel. I walk those lines. @130story

Cool

Events spiralled. We called Hotpoint. AAA rated, that guy. Analyse. Assess. Act. Coolest head in town. Just don't touch his back. @130story

Ghost

When they're gone, me and the ghosts quit chasing. We kick back, grab some cherries or pop some pills. The missus doesn't approve. @130story

Box

Gym buddies. Her on the punchbag, me on the rowing machine. Saved rent by moving in together. She's a bouncer. I write. Box & Cox. @130story
