130Story: Gown / Pot / Barn / Pout / Fake
The rules of 130Story are simple: given a random seed word, write a story in 130 characters.
Gown
Casey glowed in a near-white aerodynamically tuned ensemble comprising twelve hand-stitched panels by Adidas. Quite the ball gown. @130story

Pot
It flops in the car

And props up the bar
And holds Billy's phone
As he gawps at the telly
A life of its own
Has Billy's pot belly@130story
Barn
Do I need another barn? No, I do not. But a box is easier to wrap than my wife's 30th birthday present, her very own Learjet. @130story

Pout
INSIDE THE HEADS OF THE REDS
— Ed Broom (@edbroom) June 15, 2016
Brezhnev broods
Andropov ponders
Chernenko clouds up
Gorbachev glowers
Yeltsin yearns
Putin pouts@130story
Fake
Tenner for a Rolex? Fake, obvs, but the girls back home won't know that. Missed my flight 'cos the stupid watch alarm didn't work. @130story
