Ohhhh! Story blog chain time! Miss Awesomeness Michelle McLean came up with a fun activity to wrap up this year as we will usher in the next.
In 100 words or less, write a story using the words ride, post, soulless, local, dehydrator, girdle. Your story may take on any form you wish. The only two rules are 1. you can't simply list the 6 words; you must actually craft them into something creative, and 2. you must use ALL six of them.
Here's my story. 100 words. Make sure to read Sandra's post before mine and Kat's story afterward. Heck! Read everyone's stories as I add their links to the list!

The gun laid inside the Sunday Post, wrapped like an Italian sausage. I told Cheryl that I needed a ride to the local Walmart. "Buying my nephew a dehydrator for Christmas," I had mumbled. I'll sneak out while she parks the car, heading for the reservoir with the damning evidence. If Cheryl knew what soulless deed I had committed, she'd steer us around and floor it to the sanitarium. Pain ran across my chest, breath hiccuping, as I imagined myself suffocating inside the tight girdle that the medical staff called a straitjacket. That's not something I want to experience again...
