I bought an for my phone that rolls dice. Each die has different picture on the side and you are supposed to write a story based on the pictures you roll.

So here is story 1.

Fred and the Flower

Once upon a time a man named Fred was sleeping near the town fountain. He awoke to find a stranger making a weird smile at him. This confused Fred. To be perfectly honest, Fred found strangers slightly scary, especially smirking ones.

When Fred turned to look in the fountain he saw his reflection. Aghast Fred found that he had a Flower coming out of his ear. Now Fred was not normally the kind of man to wear flowers as part of his attire, much less grow one out of his ear. He was a little distraught, and although he tugged with all his might the flower could not be plucked.

After much thought, Fred decided to keep the flower. Besides, its bright yellow petals were a nice distraction. Fred even considered writing a story about a man with a flower growing out of his ear. It sounded like a good children’s tale when he told it in his head. But then Fred remembered that bookmaking had been banned in his country for many years. The problem was the dreaded arrow-headed scarabs that had invaded a century before. They were a beautiful shiny blue cobalt color with dark arrow shaped horns and eyes so large that they looked like cute little anime characters. Sadly though, trees had been practically wiped out by the all consuming bark loving species.

Rumor had it that the town of ‘L’ in a neighboring country had skilled bookmakers. L was far to the west, across vast mountain tops. Everyone knew the scarabs hated the cold and wouldn’t cross frigid peaks. Trees would surely be abundant in L.

Fred made up his mind. He wanted to put his story into words for the whole world to read and the scarabs, however shiny and cute they were, had made that impossible. (Truth be told, they were quite the pests. They liked to stab people ever so slightly in the ankles with their arrow-shaped horns. Boots had come into fashion around the same time as the scarabs moved in.) He packed up his things, put on his hat (with a hole cut in the side for the flower to show) and started his long journey….

And here are the dice.
