"Let me put it this way...

"I was at home, with nothing to do, when I saw a wild pig running down the street, heading out of town. I was bored stiff, so I followed it, and after a while in the woods, I thought I saw it duck into a lizard cave a little after midnight. When I go in to look for it, it's not there. So, I come out, and while I'm fiddling with some change, a white cat with a red collar walked up and so I asked it where the pig went. It pointed to the trees where I heard a lot of laughing and talking. I come across a large group comprised mostly of bubbling cheerleaders and football players.

****END OF FIVE MINUTES****

The Rest Of The Story

"As the cheerleaders were dancing, whipping their hair around and such, some of the football coaches were throwing junk into a pot of pasta they're cooking. I thought they might all be camping or something, but then I saw the wreckage from the airplane they must have been flying in. Propped up against a tree is one of the pilots, snoring away. Though there were no clouds in the sky, he's dressed head to toe for rain, with a red scarf, and the longest nose hair I've ever seen..."

"Sir. Sir?"

"Yes?"

"I hate to interrupt—it's a fascinating story and all—but I fail to see what any of it has to do with the missing psychedelics?"

"Everything, man. EVERYTHING!"

ABOUT THIS POST

This is a five minute freewrite option for the weekend. We were given several words to choose from to use as a single prompt. Instead, I decided to go for a column's worth, plus a phrase from another list. In all there are 18 different words or phrases. I incorporated them in the order listed, except for the first. All are italicized. You can see how far I got in five minutes.

This is how all the excellent stories begin. "If you see a wild pig." :D
A good one. :)

Well, thanks @insaneworks.

I'll start all of my posts that way from now on—see what people think when the actual content is totally and utterly unrelated. :) I'm sure there won't be a single person annoyed by that.

Just blame me. :D

Nice! That went down pretty quick! Should have seen that coming!

I really need to improve my typing skills, and maybe think quicker on my feet. I knew going in this was going to be a tall tale of some kind—I decided to throw the drugs in after I saw where the story was going. :)

At any rate, thanks for the kind words, @newageinv.

Hahaha. Good one!!!

Well, good or not, there it is. :) Obviously, totally different story if I'm using all the prompts without a time limit, but then, what's the fun in that? :)

Exactly!! This way, it is lots of fun :) At least for me LOL
