You can call this a competition if you like. Write a 10-word story. It can contain as few words as you like, but absolutely no more than ten words. Go.

(I got this idea from Weird Science Magazine.)

    Met, attracted, loved, lived, married, child, pain, happiness, my story.
    He who forgets, will be destined to remember.

    I wish I was the verb "to trust"
    and never let you down.

    Hang, on, that continues the story. So, let's tweak this, to make it self-contained:

    Narcissistic piranha spies reflection; bites bowl glass; meets the cat.

    excellent Fins!!!

    She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak

    I lived a life until the very day I died
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
