"You always tell me the coolest stories, Jessica, I love staying here!"

"Thanks, Linda!" The young woman grinned, patting a head seven years old. Her eyes abandoned the living room for a second, latching on the wall phone inside her kitchen. She then returned her attention to the girl. "Your babysitter is the best storyteller there is, isn't she?" Linda nodded happily. "Smart kid!"

"OH! My teacher says there's very, very short stories. As short as six words long! He said that only the best can make them work. I bet you can!"

"Oh, of course, sweetie! Let me think, hmmm..."

"Wait, no! You're the best at telling stories! You can make it even shorter!"

"How short?"

"Three words long!"

"Piece of cake!"

Linda giggled. At that moment the phone rang and Jessica practically flew to get it. Within ten seconds, Linda heard an euphoric squeal. She had been taught by daddy not to listen on people's phone calls, though, and kept playing with her cars until, several minutes later, Jessica came back.

"Okay, got your story! With title and everything!"

"YAY! What's the title?"

Jessica took a deep breath.

"The title is: The Day The Office Called To Tell Me I Was Promoted, Which Made Me Jump In Joy Imagining All I'd Buy, The Visit To Mother After All These Years, Investing In My Boyfriend’s Enterprise, Securing Ourselves A Stable Future, Prompting Him To Ask My Hand In Marriage, Hawaiian Honeymoon, Having A Baby, See Them Grow Successful Like Mommy Until, One Day, They Earn A Promotion At Work Themselves!"

"Wow!...What's the story?"

“Oops, wrong number” pouted Jessica.
In one of those days where Inspiration is benign with me and forgets all my sins, this was conceived within a ten minute interval.

The drawing though, that took considerably longer! The lass could use a surgery in some places and Ink trolled me here and there, but I'd like to believe we're making progress since our last full bodied gal
