Four Word Story

[hgblade]

the brave, even foolhardy,

[Woodles]

first trans-polar explorers.

[hgblade]

Despite the unseasonal weather

[Woodles]

, or maybe because of

[hgblade]

the unpredictability of tropical

[Woodles]

weather impinging on the

[hgblade]

normally temperate climes of

[Woodles]

the recently discovered, uninhabited

[hgblade]

plains in the midst

[Woodles]

of what was formerly

[hgblade]

vast verdant vegetation now

[Woodles]

only a dim memory

[hgblade]

for those, in reflective

[Joshrandom]

high visibilty safety wear,

[hgblade]

undertaking essential repairs to

[Joshrandom]

urban piped water systems

[hgblade]

that had recently suffered

[Woodles]

near catastrophic damage due

[hgblade]

to unfortunate incidents involving

[Woodles]

many unidentified cases of

[hgblade]

exceptionally large tremors that

[Woodles]

, while in themselves dangerous,

[hgblade]

could not be considered

[Woodles]

to pose a significant

[hgblade]

threat to the local

[Joshrandom]

noise abatement society's annual

[Woodles]

poorly attended field trip

[hgblade]

to the thunderous waterfalls

[Woodles]

just around the corner

[hgblade]

from the local motorbike

[Woodles]

repair shop specialising in

[hgblade]

left indicator bulbs and

[Woodles]

lukewarm styrofoam cups of

[hgblade]

some rancid concoction made

[Woodles]

from the left over

[hgblade]

dredges at the bottom

[Woodles]

of the recently uncovered

[hgblade]

drainage system running beneath

[Woodles]

the second building on

[hgblade]

the street next to

[Joshrandom]

the bacon factory where

[hgblade]

dark rumours suggest that

[Woodles]

many nefarious goings on

[hgblade]

preceded the discovery of

[Woodles]

decidedly shady characters who

[hgblade]

were responsible for events

[Woodles]

seen both locally and

[hgblade]

, indeed, worldwide - whereby the

[Woodles]

normally reliable security services

[hgblade]

failed to realise that

[Woodles]

said events were actually

[hgblade]

damaging the reputation of

[Woodles]

the neighbouring post office

[Joshrandom]

that had had to

[Woodles]

recruit extra staff to

[hgblade]

cope with the unprecedented

[Woodles]

demand for left handed

[hgblade]

flattening irons used to

[Woodles]

straighten out bent iron

[hgblade]

filings ensuring magnetic polarity

[Woodles]

was consistent in both

[hgblade]

density and polar directional

[Woodles]

water divining rods that

[hgblade]

were more useful for

[Woodles]

receiving Freeview television channels

[Joshrandom]

and picking door locks

[hgblade]

enabling passage to further

[Woodles]

levels of the abandoned

[hgblade]

tin mine where searches

[Woodles]

quickly descended into unsatisfying

[hgblade]

episodes of mostly sporadic

[Woodles]

sleeping punctuated by occasional

[hgblade]

nightmares of the effects

[Woodles]

caused by uncontrolled use

[hgblade]

strange hallucinogenic carrot plants

[Joshrandom]

smeared in anchovy paste

[hgblade]

and accompanied by liberal

[Joshrandom]

democrat election candidates promising

[hgblade]

to pull a rabbit

[Woodles]

out of a small

[hgblade]

hole in the centre

[Woodles]

of a deep purple

[hgblade]

album once believed to

[Woodles]

possess incredible satanic powers

[hgblade]

owing to the use

[Woodles]

of hidden messages recorded

[hgblade]

on the inside front

[hgblade]

accompanying leaflet with every

[Joshrandom]

third letter written in

[hgblade]

placed boyfriend in the

[Woodles]

new, semi national discordant

[hgblade]

singing and dancing event

[Woodles]

[hgblade]

on national TV with

[Woodles]

Simon Cowell and his

[hgblade]

entourage of very dubious

[Woodles]

and mostly irrelevant 'judges'
