STORY STARTER

While reading through an online recipe, a character realises that this isn’t just chocolate chip cookies – it’s a code.

Write a short story about this discovery and what the character does next.

The Code

β€˜Three cups of β€œst”’

What? What’s st?

I read the next ingredient.

β€˜Six tablespoons of β€œin”

I think this is one huge typo.

The rest was like this,

β€˜Four ounces of β€œai”

One cup of β€œdo”

10 tablespoons of β€œd” Seven minutes of β€œth” Nine cups of β€œbe” Five ounces of β€œrs” Two teaspoons of β€œwn” Eight handfuls of β€œe”’



A couple weeks later I’m in my mansion. The treasure was easy to find once I knew the code.
