10-Word Stories (Flash Fiction Fun)

Creative muscles need to be built.

For the following activity, you need to write a ten-word story for each picture. And by ten, I mean exactly ten words. Not nine. Not eleven. ten.

Writing ten-word stories–you see–is an intensely creative task. To capture the complexity of a story in such few words seems impossible. It forces you to think differently–or outside the box.
