Bratty, Oulipan Idea for a Story/Essay

Filed under Uncategorized

Construct a story such that each verb can be read in either the present or past tense. You can start with this sentence:

“I set my keys noisily on the countertop and then spread my hands out over the cold surface.”

Past? Present? There are probably like 5 such verbs in the language. Read, put … nothing else comes to mind. Any more?
