In 100 words or less, write a story using the words ride, post, soulless, local, dehydrator, girdle. Your story may take on any form you wish. The only two rules are 1. you can't simply list the 6 words; you must actually craft them into something creative, and 2. you must use ALL six of them.
Here's what I came up with:
It's true, what grandma said, Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed. I should've climbed back under the covers when the only clean undergarments I could find this morning were polka-dotted panties that ride up my rear and a girdle that cuts off circulation to my legs.
It's just a trip to the local post office, I told myself.
But now here I stand in line while little cherry-nosed Santas wink at me from the gift wrap covering my sister’s food dehydrator and some soulless creep with a gun demands justice.

Most mornings it doesn't pay for me to get out of bed. ;)
I wish this wasn't so short; I'd love to see what happens next!
Ah, this is a great story! I want to know more about the characters with all of them I've read.
That's awesome. I'm dying to see where it'd go from here. Nice job!
