I was tagged by the awesome Amanda Laughtland to do the ten word story challengeoriginally set by Sheri Jacobs

The point is to tell a story in exactly ten words — clue’s in the name.

I’ve written two of these… no, actually, that’s a lie.

I wrote about six or seven, and deleted all but two because self-doubt struck hard and I thought I should run away and grow lettuce on a mountain somewhere instead of doing this whole writing thing…

(I need an existential crisis discount card — after ten I get a free ice-cream or something.)

But anyway — these two survived the story cull:

“Adam, you can’t just decide your ex is a demon.”

“Was he the badger? Or did you use a badger?”

Hope you like them!

I’m not going to tag people; so, if you want to do this — consider this your tag!
