Esther Chilton Writing Challenge for April 30, 2026
Can You Write A Story In … 57 words using the following words in it somewhere:
Cat,
Pies,
Travesty,
Diamonds,
Chair,
Stationary
Leaning forward in the chair, the detective scrutinized two faded pictures—pies sitting on an open window’s sill and a cat stretched out beside its empty dish. No mention of diamonds in the report was a travesty.
No wonder it became a cold case.
The detective reached for a blank piece of stationary and wrote SHABBY INVESTIGATING.
