130Story: Tool / Wild / Beat / Ray / Lift
The rules of 130Story are simple: given a random seed word, write a story in 130 characters.
Tool
Perfidious pliers / Crowbars so cruel / Duplicitous drills / Unreliable rules / Two-timing T-squares / You can't trust these tools @130story

Wild
In the ring, nobody could touch Brian & Marty. They were wild. Then they visited our town. We had Gene & Billy. They were wilder. @130story

Beat
Over bridge, past sidings, along river path. PC Evans knew this beat back to front. Hold up: what was that floating in the water? @130story

Ray
Liked his clobber, did Ray. Ma and Pa in the rag trade. Man, that gold jacket. No touchy, said Ray. Everyone knew what Ray meant. @130story

Lift
Tea and coffee, obvs. Maybe soup. But I survived on hot & sweet vending machine Lift lemon tea. That powder was like Martian dust. @130story
