130Story: Shame / Gear / Digital / Grasp / Monkey
The rules of 130Story are simple: given a random seed word, write a story in 130 characters.
Shame
Derek, a local journo, claimed that the market was selling fake car-cleaning leathers and ran a story headed "Sham Chamois Shame" @130story

Gear
"Pull away in Noel and straight in to Charles. Up to Richard, hit thirty, then slip in to Carmen."

Dad never had a fifth gear. @130story
Digital
Passing my 1.3m pixel Kodak to my daughter, the wrist strap caught. We watched my new digital camera hit the pavement in slo-mo. @130story

Grasp
I was upstairs to fetch Mrs Davy her cardigan. That vintage clasp was within my grasp. Her mistake to appear on Antiques Roadshow. @130story

Monkey
Jammed keys. Costly ribbons. Erratic tabs. Claude can see why his friends use laptops but this monkey still prefers a typewriter. @130story
