I would be honoured indeed, Gaby

. As long as it's not viewed as jumping the start gun.

This is awesome!

Would you mind if I add this to "The G.o.T. Memoirs"

? It would fit there perfectly.

I wondered about that but decided that, for the sake of the story, this parlor stays open!

An enjoyable read. Around here, all the ice cream parlors close for the winter, so I guess I'll just sit in the parking lot and if anyone asks if I need something I'll answer, “Nope. Guess I’ll just wait for Spring.”

I doubt it. The point of these microscopic stories is that they last for 100 words and that's it. So the most I can hope from them is a quick grin or thought and the reader moves on. This one depends a lot on irony, I suppose.

I suspect we've all had experiences like this, TJ. But this one came at a time when I was really looking for something to write about. Hence the "heaven" comment. ;)

How Football Lost a Great Player

How Football Lost a Great Player

I was a rugby player in my youth. On only one occasion was I invited to take part in a game of soccer. I figured it would be a tryout for me and a chance for mere footballers to find out what a poor game they played.

Things did not go exactly to plan. I did not make the mistake of chasing the ball all over the field and, eventually, the ball came to me. I scored a goal.

This would have been a fine start to a dazzling football career had the goal not been against my own side.

Word count: 100
For Micro-Fiction Challenge, Week 9
Prompt: The tryouts.
