Premise...

Alrighty, cats and kittens here's the scoop.

Each day, I am going to write a short story.

Here are the rules:
I will grab a random book, usually a dictionary, and turn to a random page.
I will then point to a random word (I exclude "the","and" and a few other super-common words)

I then give myself 1 minute of "think time" to come up with a story involving that word, hopefully centering around it.

The story must be written entirely within that day and consist of at least 500 words.

And with the rules down, let's begin!
