New Year’s Shenanigans

I entered a story in Meg’s Pokrass’ 20-word New Year’s story challenge. The title could be any length, the word count for the story had to be exactly 20 words, and Meg suggested the stories range from nostalgic to zany, be funny and maybe even pull at the heart strings.

My story won third place! I’m thinking this is a fine way to end the year.
