Weekly Writing Challenge, fun with words,

Back in the Day

Esther Chilton Writing Challenge for April 16, 2026


Can You Write A Story In … 64 words using the following words in it somewhere:

Microphone
Zeal
Snail
Cottage
Immortal
Teapot



Life was good back in the day. I thought I was immortal when I was on stage, microphone in hand, belting out song after song to thousands. Performing with a zeal that was fed by the music, the fans. Now I live in a cottage, walk like a snail, and can’t remember the words to I’m a Little Teapot. The accident has changed everything.

      There is nothing like challenge writing to sew the seeds for something more. This one might have to end up in the simmering port for future use.
