I stole this idea from an exercise Conrad Williams used as a contest on Kari Wolfe’s blog

Write a short story (no more than 1,000 words) in which each sentence is no more than six words long.

1. Pick a number between 1 and 180.

2. Pick another number between 1 and 180.

3. Now pick north or south.

4. Now east or west.

5. Combine your answers from 1 and 3.

6. Combine your answers from 2 and 4.
