Ad lib, stress out

Up for a quick challenge? Go to oneword. You’ll have 60 seconds to write a story based on a random word prompt. No editor*, so instant publishing success!

It’s nice to see Oulipo constraints applied in this internet age. Back in the ol’ days, you’d need a stop-watch and someone with a large fist to knock you out.

*Thus, not exactly the most refined writing, but that’s where YOU come in. Just don’t freak out, like I did.
