Four Word Story

[hgblade]

the corridors of a

[Woodles]

dank, long ago abandoned

[hgblade]

toilet block in the

[Woodles]

Peoples republic of New

[hgblade]

Beginnings, where it is

[Woodles]

often claimed that strange

[hgblade]

forces enable the adventurous

[Woodles]

(some would say foolhardy)

[hgblade]

to attempt the seemingly

[Woodles]

impossible task of ascending

[hgblade]

the sheer face of

[Woodles]

the north facing side

[hgblade]

of the perilously slippy

[Woodles]

and black ice encrusted

[hgblade]

hillock that is home

[Woodles]

to many a weird

[hgblade]

variety of the giant

[Woodles]

rhubarb tree only found

[hgblade]

growing alongside the mysterious

[Woodles]

yet still strangely familiar

[hgblade]

by-products of the experimental

[Woodles]

gene splicing programme recently

[hgblade]

implemented to help determine

[Woodles]

the true cause of

[hgblade]

the incredible growth rate

[Woodles]

variously reported by all

[hgblade]

test samples taken from

[Woodles]

the last remaining laboratory

[hgblade]

specimen of an ancient

[Joshrandom]

and now extinct species

[hgblade]

of a rather odd

[Woodles]

smelling variant of the

[hgblade]

common, and much maligned,

[Joshrandom]

but now somewhat rehabilitated,

[hgblade]

member of the group

[Joshrandom]

that also includes the

[hgblade]

yet to be formally

[Joshrandom]

recognised new sub-species of

[hgblade]

microscopic organisms that dwell

[Woodles]

in the lower reaches

[hgblade]

of the forgotten caves

[Joshrandom]

which lie beneath the

[hgblade]

northern peninsular on the

[Woodles]

sun splashed beaches of

[hgblade]

a remote tropical island

[Joshrandom]

set in an azure

[hgblade]

sea where the only

[Woodles]

visible lifeforms are mere

[hgblade]

specimens of the greater

[Woodles]

ecosystem barely surviving in

[hgblade]

the native environment where

[Woodles]

multiple, non-indigenous predators are

[hgblade]

quite likely to develop

[Woodles]

a taste for the

[hgblade]

avocado and dill sandwiches

[Joshrandom]

that are sold at

[hgblade]

beach  cafes situated by

[Woodles]

the deckchair and umbrella

[hgblade]

franchise operated by a

[Woodles]

grubby and shady looking

[hgblade]

individual with the unpleasant

[Joshrandom]

habit of spitting on

[hgblade]

his hands before offering

[Woodles]

to shake on a

[hgblade]

deal to supply tropical

[Woodles]

looking souvenirs that are

[hgblade]

actually bought in from

[Woodles]

the foreign sweatshop operating

[hgblade]

thousands of miles away

[Joshrandom]

from the nearest branch

[Woodles]

on the top floor

[hgblade]

of an otherwise deserted

[Woodles]

shopping mall only frequented

[hgblade]

by hapless teenagers seeking

[Woodles]

relief from the constant

[hgblade]

(in their view) nagging

[Woodles]

of their neighbours little

[hgblade]

visitors staying with them

[Woodles]

temporarily while their own

[hgblade]

property in the African

[Woodles]

continent is upgraded to

[hgblade]

allow for the provision

[Woodles]

of the newly discovered

[hgblade]

water source originating beneath

[Woodles]

the red tile flooring

[hgblade]

of the truly stunning

[Woodles]

although not often used,

[hgblade]

18th century temple believed

[Woodles]

to contain the remains

[hgblade]

of the revered, but

[Woodles]

almost universally detested former

[hgblade]

missionary known for providing

[Woodles]

poor service for high

[hgblade]

tea using a poor

[Woodles]

quality leaf usually used

[hgblade]

during the fermentation of

[Joshrandom]

low grade agricultural feed

[hgblade]

primarily intended for the

[Woodles]

inhabitants of the nearby

[hgblade]

settlements where the natives
