In 300 words or less, write a funny short story. Winner gets a free ego inflation treatment
I'll start it off:
........................ Bad Day
Harold Trotter got up at five in the morning to take the bus. However, since his apartment had been burgled during the night, he had to make do with a purple suit, yellow tie and green socks. Harold inhaled breakfast in under four minutes, tripped over a “Caution: Wet Floor” sign and fell down the stairs from his apartment to street level. He managed to get only minor lacerations when he walked through the plate glass door, which had been freshly cleaned. Upon staggering out of the doorway, Harold was promptly run over by a mad woman with a Harley-Davidson shopping cart. When the bus came, he had to hold on to the bottom, since he lost all his money in the burglary. Feeling rather damaged after the bus jumped a drawbridge, Harold hitched a ride with a passing taxi. The taxi accelerated to Mach 4 and took him two blocks closer to his job, but let him out in a dark alley because he was unable to pay. Harold managed to stagger dizzily around until a passing police car mistook him for a wanted forger and brought him a whole ten blocks closer to his job, but fortunately the police car was involved in an accident before Harold could land in jail. Harold managed to stagger half a mile until he reached the textile factory where he worked as a repairman. Wearily, he crawled over the razor-wire fence and up the stairs to read the sign on the door –
Closed for the Weekend.
