I was reading Nancy’s post and found another prompt I like that challenges word limits is out there. I am therefore jumping in feet first with this today.

Written for Esther’s “Can You Tell A Story In…..? #277”
Exactly 40 words including the five required prompts:
‘hammock’, ‘playboy’, ‘alligator’, ‘bassoon’ and ‘tender’.
This is my 40 word very short story in limerick form. <—copied from The Elephants Trunk.

My Turn

In my hammock, a tender thought crosses the vision of my mind, is death the ultimate experience? A bassoon sized alligator dances on the stage of my dream while mermaids mistake him as a playboy, he is actually the reaper.
