The Christmas Gift: A Hundred Word Story
December 3, 2024
On Christmas Day a surprise gift was waiting under the Christmas Tree. Mom looked at Dad. Dad looked at mom. Both shook their heads no. Everyone had been eyeing it since the tree was put up. No one was surprised when the names Timmy and Kenny appeared on the tag. They ripped into the wrapping.
“A real flamethrower!”
Just as they announced their pleasure with it, Kenny pulled on the leaver sending a whoosh of flames at the Christmas tree.
As they abandoned their house, their neighbour smiled through his front window.
“Kids will be kids. Merry Christmas to me!”
