The Headlines Game

Will you be able to play? Here's what you do: Mix and match headlines, pieces of stories, people and names - take a person from one news story and set that "character" down inside another story. Tell us how that person reacts, what is happening to them and what do they do? Try to pick something from each category (rewording it is perfectly fine) and incorporate all into a new story or character description. CATEGORY ONE - "HEADLINES" Terror suspects held in secret CIA prisons Baghdad car bomb kills 6 Gas prices fall average of 4 cents per gallon Engineers Fear Levee Repairs Not Enough 70,000 grocery store workers strike Hacker suspect says his PC was hijacked Judge delays concealed weapons law A Street Pioneer Strikes Again Suspect in backyard burial deaths escapes Challenges to Bush's Iraq Policy Gain Dramatic Momentum CATEGORY TWO - "BITS AND PIECES" Breathitt, 78, was admitted to the intensive care unit at the UK Medical Center Friday night, said university spokeswoman Mary Margaret Colliver.
