Short Story Day Africa

(They need a comma after '20 June' in the heading.) More here

And here's where I got the idea that there was a 100 word limit.

Either way, I happen to have a hundred-word story somewhere on my desktop. It's like I knew this day would come when I wrote it in October last year! Happy Short Story Day Africa... Or whatever it is you're supposed to say. Here's mine:

So two men were walking down the street one day. One said, “hey, wanna hear something funny?” The other one said no.

“So these ducks were swimming in the water yea, and then this guy comes out and snatches them right out, and… hahahaha!”

The other one kept quiet.

“Wanna know what happens next?”

The other one said no.

“Your loss”, he said, “It’s hilarious.”

Then he chuckled, stopped, smiled and whistled to himself, and then chuckled to himself again.

Then the other one said, “Oh whatever, just tell me and stop whistling!”

And then the first one said no.
