We gave six writers "a goose, a grin and a glass of gin," and a limit of 400 words in which to explain how they might figure in the same story. The results range from the supernatural to the psychological, take in a wedding and a funeral, and involve a good number of parents -- mostly problematic ones. The biggest surprise, for us, was the goose. They came in both cooked and on the wing, but not once in the form of a verb. We hope you have as much fun with them as our writers did.
