I've edited it to be 20 of 25 words. Hope that will inspire folks to talk the challenge!

Sorry, it's far too many words. Years ago I was in a playwriting group tat used a single word to inspire a short [3-5 minutes] play - that worked. I'm afraid 20 words paralyzes me.

If it paralyzes Junemoon I know it will paralyze me too. Sorry

Okay, I'm in. I went ahead and drafted something to be sure I could do it. It wasn't as difficult as I thought. I'm not saying the story's any good though. ; ]
