Category: Honey, I Finished The Internet

Let’s Play “Begin That News Story” !

This is how it works: I choose a key paragraph from a news report and quote the finishing sentence. Your task is to fill in the supporting information that provides context for that sentence.

Here we go;

“Xxxx xxxxx xxx xxx xx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxx xx xx x xxxxxxx xx xx xxxxxx xxxx x xxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxx xx x xxxx-xx xxxx xxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxx xxx xx xxx xxx xxx xxxxxx xx xxx xxx xxx xx xxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxx xxx xxx xxxx xx xxx xxxxx. And the cat was screaming for its life.

You need not match the word lengths represented by “xxx” or try to tease out what they stand for. Just draw upon your own observations and knowledge of what sort of circumstances might have led to a story being published about a cat screaming for its life.

Easy? Easy.

Tomorrow evening I’ll link the story, and we can revisit how close everyone came.

No cheating! If you’ve already seen it, just stand down for this one.
