   Hi Anna.
   How about........"Her lovely voise was so soft, then she passed away."
   
   Hope that is what you mean. It's hard enough with my F/F stories in 5/700 words, never mind 10 words.
   LOL Ghaelach

      or how about........"The beautiful baby was born, but the young mother died"
      A bit morbid.

    I must admit that I haven't made up this story, but I just hope you'll like it.
    A teacher told his students to make up a story, where the main character is an aristocrat, God is mentioned and there is a mystery.
    A minute later one of the students handed in his story. It was:
    'Oh, my God,' said the duchess. 'I'm pregnant, but I don't know by whom.'
    As the requirement is 10 words,
    '(My) God', said the duchess. 'I'm pregnant but by whom?'
