The 100 word (or less) stories
Stories need to include these words: timesdeal, beauty, travel, fitness, discount, shopping
Story 01
Title: The shopper and her trainer!
‘I’ve a great deal from time,’ he began.
‘It is Timesdeal, dear,’ she corrected.
He told her he was her biggest fan
But her fitness with words was bad, man!
‘Great deals from time,’ he began again,
And went on this time without a pause,
‘Come to the wary, aware. The pain
Of not knowing is worse than disdain
On the faces of those who have gained!’
‘That’s why I go shopping, even travel
Far, and every discount I unravel!’
She replied. ‘Under me you have trained,’
He said with pride, ‘and both of us gained!’
(A 100-word story in rhyme.)
Story 02
Title: Intrigue for 702
I walked into the lift lobby. Saw a constable waiting there. Crime, I thought.
The lift came. We entered. I asked, ‘Which floor?’
‘Seventh.’
My floor! ‘Where?’
‘702.’
My flat number! This is intriguing!
‘What has happened?’
‘This courier boy came to the thana seeking help.’
‘Package says ‘702, Near Paharganj Police Station’, said another person in the lift. He was the delivery boy.
Ah! Must be the fitness, shopping, beauty, and travel discount vouchers I had ordered from Timesdeal. I must’ve forgotten to give my complete address.
I received the package and thanked the constable for his inspired action!
Story 03
Title: A thought on friendship
Priyanka told me she was dreaming of going to Prague if she wins that travel trip on the Timesdeal contest.
‘Nice dream,’ I said, ‘and if you win, gift me those beauty, fitness, and shopping discount vouchers that you were talking about.’
She nodded and smiled.
I too nodded and smiled.
We went our way, both thinking the same thought: ‘Does this really happen… ever?’
Surprisingly, the next thought too was the same for both: ‘The competition is severe. I must write another story now!’
They say friends are the best sparring partners!
Story 04
Title: The conversation before they stepped out together
Just one rain and it was lush green everywhere. So were the envious glances when Pips and Monk stepped outside. Monk had just indulged in an expensive beauty treatment… and no, it wasn’t one with any discount attached.
‘Now I’m ready for shopping,’ Monk mumbled.
Pips immediately protested, ‘I have my fitness classes. Can’t come with you.’
‘Going alone is like a travel through hell,’ said Monk, ‘why can’t timesdeal mail me a shopping partner?’
Pips looked alarmed on hearing this and hurriedly said, ‘Fitness later. Come, let’s go!’

Well tell it to the victims, frankly i feel great discomfort when people write almost esseys about such subject and like 5% of it is about victims (oh, yes dully noted ) and rest is about how censorship is bad and it’s Pa2r#da&o8n17;s Box etc. Ah, “price of freedom” it’s so great when you are not one paying it…
