This is a short story I wrote for creative writing.  All I did was take ten nouns and ten verbs and randomly paired them up; I wrote a story with the ten sentences.
 
The sun ran as fast as it could, trying to win the race.  However, the moon jumped ahead in a mighty leap and claimed the sky as its own.  The night loved to be in control.  The entire time the race went on though, the stars slept and were unable to be seen.  Suddenly, the fire called out to the sky, challenging the race’s winner and brightening the world more than the usual nocturnal dimness.  A sword stared at the landscape, daring something to face it.  Time passed by and the sword feel to the ground, gems spinning off of it as it hit the hard rock.  A beautiful metal flower clanged softly as the wearer slid to the earth.  A feather climbed as the pillow was smashed.  The red cat stretched as it moved from its original place to sleep on the person on the ground; he had obviously realized that it was time for bed as well.  Thus the night’s rule went on, soothing the creatures of the land into a slumber… the power of the moon was strong.
