I'm glad we all like the narrative solution for this part. I had suggested the same earlier here. Now I look forward to the most delightful part of Sluggy's day.
Happy Belated Birthday, Verity!

Sorry I missed your suggestion Julia! I remember reading your comment, but the narrative suggestion part just didn't register for some reason! I must have been distracted by the cheese festival!

I just spent the day at a gifted and talented literacy day for Bangkok schools, so we all took along a few students to participate in the activities. One of the writing activities was to write a short story, with a distinct beginning, middle and end, using just 50 words exactly. It's very challenging, but great practice at making every word count - just like we do!

"Lucky for me too," Belladonna
For anyone who's interested, here's some examples of the 50 word stories. I've put them in spoiler boxes so you don't have to read them if you don't want to. These were written by students in years 4, 5 and 6, which is the equivalent of U.S. grades 3, 4 and 5. Titles don't count in the word count.

- STOLEN UNDER THE MOON
“Stop! I’ll shoot!” shouted the guard. Moonlight slashed across his face, a silver scar, the thief froze. Throwing his loot across his shoulder like a winter coat, he leaped out the window, agile as a bat. The petrified guard bellowed an alarm. The thief raced away into the black night.
Stress
Oh, I can do this. This is easy. Just a 50 word story isn’t much.
Ok, I’ve started typing. Only 20 words written. 24, 25. Half way there!
30 minutes. That’s so long! Running, running out of words! What am I gonna do?
You decide what happens. I can’t write!
Among the Stars
I lay among the stars. War is hurtful, war is mean. Over the years, I’ve seen many innocent young men run towards Death. Now it’s my turn. Soon Death would be standing over me, handing me over to the conveyer-belt of eternity. I have to go forwards, can’t look back.
TIGER LIFE
As the morning sun peeks through the trees in the jungle, a tiger gives a yawn and wakes up. He is hungry. Stealthily, the tiger creeps out his den and begins to follow an invisible trail. Soon, he glimpses a wild boar. He pounces. Later he will be enjoying meat!!!!
The End
Sunlight pelted down as I woke. It was a wonderful day as usual. Everything looked the same as it was yesterday, but still, something felt wrong inside. As I climbed out of my comfy bed, I gently and silently closed my eyes.
And that was the end of my life.

Wow, I never realised how short a 50 word story was until I saw the examples! The kids have managed very well indeed.
