The usual rules apply:
1. Write a story using 100 words or
fewer.
2. Use these words in the story: last letter pogo
(I put this one in just to see what Steve Forti will do with it!) ease lime
3. You must use the whole word, but that
whole word can be part of a larger word. The letters for the
prompt must appear in consecutive order.
They cannot be backwards.
Thus: pogo/pogostick is ok, but
last/least is not
4. Post the entry in the comment column
of THIS blog post.
5. One entry per person. If you need a
mulligan (a do-over) erase your entry and post again. It helps to work out your
entry first, then post.
7. Titles count as part of the word count
(you don't need a title)
11. You agree that your contest entry can
remain posted on the blog for the life of the blog. In other words, you can't
later ask me to delete the entry and any comments about the entry at a later
date.
12. The stories must be self-contained.
That is: do not include links or footnotes to explain any part of the story.
Those extras will not be considered part of the story.

My Entry (the very last one)
You wrote: “I
was plastered.”
I meant to
write, “It was plastered.” It’s a typo, GOT IT?
What was
plastered?
My hand.
Your hand was
plastered?
A plaster is
what you Yanks call a bandage.
Tell me again.
(sigh)
I lost control of my car because my HAND was bandaged and slipped on the wheel,
and I accidentally hit your police vehicle.
But you wrote…
Blimey, I forgot
one lousy letter!
…
Hassling the
perp, Officer?
A bit, Sir. He
hit the police car...accidentally.
Oh!
I’ll release him
when he’s finished his statement.
Carry on,
Officer. (wink)
Yessir! (smile)
