He felt lucky to be invited to the annual duck shoot at the corporate
plantation. The guests milled around drinking
beer and talking as the shooters took their pot shots at the terrified birds

took them home.
This is a Mr. Knowitall (who really does) 55 flash fiction piece to meet his challenge. You write, you link to him and let him know you wrote and linked and he will come and kick your ass into the weekend for playing. (Stolen from the Walking Man)

DeleteTo bad cheney wasn't there, he would have gone with live ducks and expended ammo.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Beach Bum already suggested he should have been there to shoot one of his friends in the face.
DeleteI was expecting Cheney to make an appearance, too. I do believe this piece revealed your soft side. Well done! (Um, not the duck... I prefer that juicy. With apples and onions.)
ReplyDeleteI kinda prefer Peking myself.

ReplyDeleteThat was nice. Good thing he wasn't at a boar hunting event. What do you do then?
