I incorporated Raven and Quilly into my Flash Fiction this week. First time I've tried it, I'm glad I did. The words are: plumber, autograph, Florence Nightengale, a chill wind’s a blowing, watering hole, sleek, triplets, backwards, surface tension, parrot. Free estimates, French fries, carpet, Braille, and silver-tongued bandit.
My soure for Raven and Quilly came from the dragons: http://dragonlairs.blogspot.com/2009/10/friday-55.html
Without further delay:
Chaos
Free estimates? That silver-tongued bandit! Florence Nightingale shrieked, surface tension erupted, hot lava spewing from watering hole. A chill wind’s blowing whisked french fries onto carpet, triplets scampered, beating Mr. Parrot to treats. Mr. Plumber scouring house, requiring autograph on dotted line, signed by sleek blind mouse in Braille. Room spinning, suddenly everything went backwards.

You handled those words most admirably. Nicely done.
Sounds like something out of Alice in Wonderland.
