Ezekial it seems is dead. I was hoping 42 readers would submit 3 words a piece for me to use in a blog post challenge. If I didn’t get 42 people, I gave myself permission to duck out of this, as using 126 reader selected words in one post and have it make sense was going to be a challenge!

As I am well short of the 42 people I was after, then I offer this instead as an alternative. Here are the 42 words from the original Ezekial the budgie story – once again, all from readers.

I’ve put those words, together with the few I did get recently as ‘supplementaries’ below and I challenge you, to write a story which includes these 42 words. How to participate:

1. Use 42 of the words below – you may use as many of the supplementaries as you see fit!
2. Bold each word in the story
3. Post a link to your story below!

My story became about a transger budgerigar who eloped with a moose. What will yours be?
