[Tony]

This was it. 10k on the next roll and he wouldn't have to worry about Gino and the Fratelli brothers anymore. He picked up the red dice, blew on them, shook them, tossed them down the green baize with his eyes closed. His life on this one chance.

ICEBERG.

[Emily V, Head Mod]

A little girl told me the other day that the Titanic sunk because it hit an iceburger. I asked if she meant iceberg but she insisted she was right. (True story!)

Elvis :D

[Melanie]

A friend asked my little boy what he wanted to be when he grew up. Without hesitation he said "Elvis!" and then went on to tell her all about how Elvis drives a fire engine and confuses sausages with smoke detectors.

(Also a true story! The Elvis he means is a fireman in Fireman Sam - but it's good for a laugh seeing people's faces when he says it)

KITCHEN

[Tony]

She looks up from her computer, startled out of her post to Goodreads. There was a noise from the kitchen. A slither, then a somehow wet bump. Something falling to the floor, then sliding away into a dark corner.

Only the house is empty apart from her.

RAT.

[Julie]

She wiped the blood from her now busted lip and stared intently at the traitor standing before her. "I thought I smelled at rat," she said through clenched teeth.

SEAL

[Emily V, Head Mod]

She swam through the sparkling ocean, blue water lapped at her shoulders. There was a noise behind her; alarmed she spun round. There sat a seal on one of the rocks staring at her intensely. Great, she was being stalked by a seal.

DYE

[Tony]

Goldfinger threw James Bond a bolt of cloth and a phial of red liquid.
"You expect me to talk Goldfinger?" Bond sneered.
"No, Mr Bond. I expect you to dye."

(Sorry!)

OBSIDIAN.

[Emily V, Head Mod]

Her green eyes glowed in the moonlight, hair the color of obsidian and skin the color of chalk.

ALFALFA

[[deleted user]]

...but her most arresting feature was the cowlick at the crown of her head that stood straight up, making her look just like Alfalfa in The Little Rascals.

GUFFAW

[Alone]

But when I shared my observations with my husband, it was greeted by guffaws, with he insisting that I might have mistaken someone else for her because she had flaming red hair flowing past her waist.

SPLASH

[~☺MiNi☺~]

Time went in slow motion. Paralised with my jaw open, I could only stare as my heart lept into my mouth when Lily's bungee cord suddenly snapped, sending her plunging into the rush of the river with a monumentous splash.

THUNDER

[Tony]

"Maybe we should try...The Castle." Janet suggested. As she did, a peal of rolling thunder cracked over their heads.
"I'm not sure...The Castle...has a phone - " Tom stopped. "That's weird," he said.
"What is?"
"Have you noticed every time you say those words, there's a roll of thunder?"
"What wordS? The Castle - Oh, I see what you mean." There was another roll of heavy thunder.
Tom shouted towards the sky, cupping his hands over his mouth. "The Castle! The Castle! Hey this is fun!" Thunder ripped open the sky, again and again.

REBELLION.

[[deleted user]]

The only shelter was ahead of them.
"We HAVE to go to T-H-E C-A-S-T-L-E!" Tom spelled, glancing nervously overhead.
"Let's go, then," Janet shouted. They ran across the sward, through the inner gatehouse to the Donjon. They pounded on the huge, timber door. "Let us in!"
The door swung slowly outward and a be-hunched, one-eyed creature limped forward.
"Who be ye?" he demanded. "Be ye the harbinger of the Rebellion?"
"Rebellion?" Tom repeated
"Aye," cackled the wight. "Rebellion! We been a-waiting! He's a mad scientist, ye see!"
"Uh," Janet said, "I d-don't. Tom, let's go!"
They turned and shrank back against the walls as a rabble bearing pikes, pruning hooks, baseball bats and Super Soakers strode toward them across the sward.

CORVETTE

[Stan]

High atop the castle they watched as the three masted corvette pursued the pirate ship relentlessly. Under normal conditions, the larger ship could have outran the smaller ship, but years of neglect by the lazy crew had rendered the pirate ship unwieldy, and it's doom was fast approaching.

Jack-O-Lantern

[Tony]

Darkness slipped over the pirate ship, and the crew fell to the deck, a ragtag, superstitious bunch, dreading their fate. Their captain (A certain Captain Jack O'Lantern) rushed below deck and found the remains of their last booty:A pumpkin!
Grabbing for a knife, he sliced it open, gutting it and fitting a taper in its innards. He emerged back on deck waving the lighted pumpkin to light their way. And that's how the Jack-O-Lantern got its name.
True story.

MUSTANG

[Emily V, Head Mod]

Walking home from a party she'd been abandoned at Jayme was furious. She saw her friend's silver Mustang coming up the road. Thinking she had come to find her she raised a hand to wave. Instead the car swerved specially to hit a puddle and soaked her to the skin as it drove by.
"I thought that only happened in movies!" Jayme said angrily to herself before realizing how strange she must have looked soaking wet and chattering away to herself.

KICKSTART

[Steve]

Jesse dared Dave to get on the Harley and ride it to the nearby Seven Eleven.

Though Dave had never ridden a motorcycle before, he accepted the dare. As he tried to kickstart the motorcycle, it fell and pinned him underneath.

Jesse had never laughed so hard!
