Using the phrases below, try to build a short fictional story. There are few notes that [look like this].


Tom is still the smartest accountant in the town,

Joey is his best friend.

Tom is 94.

Joey is 95.

They both live in ...

This is a story of a friendship, love and drama [feel free to replace these or add more].

Everything has started [pick a time in the past when].

[Finish with]: Today Tom & Joey...


Additional notes: Obviously Joey and Tom are the protagonists. Feel free to add more characters, to include retrospection and whatever else you would like. You are totally free to write your own interpretation. Use this type of freedom as an opportunity to put your creativity under some pressure. If you'd like to present the old men in a different way, please do so.

A short story means something that is minimum 300 words.
