Dogs of War [Creative Writing Challenge: Task #1]
This is my submission for the second Creative Writing Challenge, Task #1, sponsored by @steemfluencer.
Task Description
Task #1: Tony's List
Tony is a writer. He lives not far from the local Walmart. Once he was walking in the nearby park when he met his brother Jack. Jack complained that he had forgotten to buy a present for his wife and that day was their anniversary. Jacked asked his brother to go to Walmart and buy some food so that he could get back home to tidy the place and start preparing for his wife's arrival. He decided to cook dinner and the only chance for him to finish on time is to delegate the shopping to his brother. The shopping list was so huge that he had nothing else to do but to create a story so that all the items were combined all together and could be easily memorized.
The shopping list is:
- Bananas
- Tomatoes
- White wine
- Gone with the Wind - book
- Greek yogurt
- Coke
- Oranges
- A tasty bone for Charlie (the family's dog)
Your task is to help Tony create the story.
Be as much creative as possible. This is a real technique for remembering stuff called the linking method. The more enticing the story is the higher the chance is for Tony to remember all the items he has to buy. Approach it as a writer and do not write something too simple. Warm up your brain cells and surprise me and the rest of the participants with something both creative and funny. It could be a narrative in past tense for example.

Brutal.
I love how you worked the quote into it.
Thanks for reading! I'm glad you caught the quote at the end :)
Ahh! What a wicked aftermath to the anniversary dinner, with all the items expertly woven in.
Thanks! I tried to have the items be casually worked in versus obviously intentional,
