Hi Elias,
While I think it's important that your story is all your own, I think it might help to organize these words. This is the first "brainstorming" step of any writing project.
Example:
bunk: noun / object --- an object in the story
mist: noun / object or verb "to mist" --- maybe the setting features mist
tough: adjective --- this could describe a character or a situation
crush: verb --- an action that could be central to the plot
By organizing the types of words here, you can brainstorm where and how to use them. Each word will have one or two main uses, like "mist," which can be a noun or verb. Using it as a noun would be typical, but using "mist" as a verb has creative potential. This can help you create a unique mood, plot, and style for your story.
If categorizing the words helps you get started, you can use that brainstorm to create the right story that brings all these words together. I hope this helps. Good luck!
PS: most dictionaries list "noun," "verb," etc. on word entries. This can help you figure out how to use these words effectively!
