Tiny Tim


"But it's Christmas!" my husband protested.
"We're NOT inviting Tiny Tim," I hissed.
"Meanie! It's because he has one leg, isn't it?"
It was the truth, of course. I felt awful.
I looked down at my own two stumps and began to cry.
"He lords it over me," I sobbed.

  3. Wow, you are really good at these. I really liked this one, nice artful misdirection and you really do tell a complete story in 50 words.

    This is going to sound like spam so sorry but would you like to write some stories for my 50 word fiction site

    http://50wordfiction.wordpress.com

    Or at submit some that you've already written, I'm trying to get as many good stories as I can.

    Thank you and either way I have linked to your excellent collection of stories.
