A Small Misunderstanding :: A Short Story :: COM Rd 12

“Errrmmm.” I fingered the microphone with my stupid furry paw. If only I had opposable thumbs. I cleared my throat. “Captain Planet reporting in with a...status report.”

“Report!”

“Uh, I was just about to.” My paw slipped off the tiny microphone button again and then back on. “Give me a second—” Off again. Dang it.

This story was inspired by @whatsup's writing contest, the source post of which is a great read on its own.

I'm also offering this for Comedy Open Mic Round 12. As such, I suggest @aksounder and @therosepatch join in before the deadline curtain falls.

Dang. Now I'm probably going to second-guess myself every time I squish a cockroach.
