130Story: Spike / Brave / Lean / Button / Crop
The rules of 130Story are simple: given a random seed word, write a story in 130 characters.
Spike
Tennis with my son. Getting dark. Gates already locked. He cleared the fence. I got stuck on a spike. Those shorts were new, too. @130story

Brave
Vlad The Brave can't sleep. Been a week since he smashed Eric The Reckless & spiked his head. Now Vlad can't look Eric in the eye. @130story

Lean
Five turned up. It's not hard, I said. Eat less. Do more. Pure and simple. They're all doing great. I'm so proud of my lean class. @130story

Button
Dull metal button? Dumb self-service till thinks it's a quid. Got a bag of five from Benny The Bin, free. Change is doing me good. @130story

Crop
I had a crew cut. She wore a crop top. I drove a Chrysler. She worked in Top Shop. I liked King Crimson. She worshipped Iggy Pop. @130story
