Uphill Living
By Scott L Vannatter – 100 Words
Zane looked down below at the beautiful home of Mortimer. Mortimer was having another party. It was another party in which Zane had not been invited. He could not help being poor. It had taken him two days and all of his donkey’s efforts to move the five-foot boulder to a good spot in front of his house.
“Tonight would be a bit different,” he thought. “Tonight, Mortimer would learn two things: First, he would learn that parties are meant to be celebrations among friends and neighbors. Second, he would learn that I am poor, but live uphill.”
He pushed.

I guess they were not playing “the rolling stones” at that party… Uphill has it’s advantages.

However, it would seem that the party was crashed and they were all stoned. Good one, Bjorn.

Haha! Moral of the story: Don’t live downwind from the outhouse, and never piss off your uphill neighbor. Just brilliant, this is so funny!
