Tips
A story board or comic strip layout is a good place to start, but is not required.
The number of characters, location, and context are not defined.
Stretch the meaning of the story.
I would give visual examples, but I want part of the fun to be figuring it out. ;)
Have fun!

Sounds interesting.
One question: are my own phrases allowed or must I use only the given ones?

This is a classic storyboarding exercise.
The point is to have a set limitation, the text, and a creative element, the visuals.
At first glance you might find that text defines visuals.
But with some experimenting I think you will find that visuals can define text just as easily.

Decided to give a quick shot to story line #3
'The guy that's just way too comfortable on the train'

Obviously story 1 is Private Muricca from "Call of Honor the Battle of Medalfield 4" visiting his grandma and baking a cake. :)

No deadline bud :). Give it some time.
I wouldn't call it dead until it leaves the header.
