Conan said, “Circle the dragons, go to the warehouse and gather all our weapons as our enemy is approaching and they have a fervent desire for our blood. A sword is good against anything but sorcery, so put your trust in steel as this and our courage are these are the only things that are not disingenuous. Although fog surrounds us now, it will soon breakup and the great god Tengri has promised to give us a blustery day to blow our foe off the face of the earth and the sunshine will smile at us. Fight together and say no to defeat, as today will be remembered and there will be no JOMO or joy in Mudville. We will drive them back to the brook where the cypress grows. Only pain hurts and all that matters is for us to crush our enemies, and see them driven before us, so we can hear the lamentation of their women. Brace yourself, stay placid, inhale the verdant countryside and be vigorous in battle. We may hit a snag or two, but the proximate cause of all our problems is our enemy, so enough talk and don’t forget what we are fighting for. Death to the world and if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. I don’t want to sound like a twitter, but has anyone seen my moose helmet?”

Thanks Li. It was only 20 prompt words. All of my stories make sense. In my post the other day Raccoon Face, I used 22 word prompts and a photo prompt. I think that my record is 28 prompts.

I must have missed Raccoon Face. I think my brain would implode trying to use that many words in a short story.
