Twelve Words
Your turn: Recreate Story XXIII, next week's microfiction 'Untitled,' using the exact words below.
The twelve words and four punctuation marks below can be rearranged into next week’s micro fiction story (‘Untitled’).
If you rearrange these successfully like one of a million monkeys at their typewriters, you’ll have written my story before you read it!
I have been playing with these twelve words for a long time, and I’m pretty sure there’s only one real story hiding in there. Please find the same one!

Oops 🙊, I wrote a story using the words and punctuations. I give myself a big fat F (first one in my entire life) for missing the ‘Re’ part of re-create, and not checking the Roman numeral. Now, I am on empty…
I struck my son only once. He cried out, “we don’t hit.”
