Pepe's "Take Me Outside" Face and Wednesday Word Story

Who could resist?

Linking up with Wordless Wednesday.

***********************************

Elephant's Child now hosts Words for Wednesday, in which two groups of 6 words are provided, and you are challenged to write a story for each set, or one story incorporating them all.  The list of prompt words and my story follows:

1. Feverish
2. Pencil
3. Fabricated
4. Typewriter
5. Mix
6. Sensible

 And /or

1. Penalty
2. Caution
3. Senility
4. Lie
5. Patched
6. Trees

With a FEVERISH twirl of the PENCIL, he set it down and headed for the TYPEWRITER.  He knew he had to MIX the SENSIBLE truth with the FABRICATED parts to make a believable LIE.  It had to be PATCHED together like a quilt, he said to himself, staring out of the window at the TREES as if for inspiration.

Yes, he was throwing CAUTION to the wind.  He knew the PENALTY if it were found out, they would say he was too far gone in his SENILITY to be left to do as he pleased.  The possible reward if he pulled it off was too strong a lure for the possible consequences to stop him.
