Bombshell by *ThornyEnglishRose:iconThornyEnglishRose:

‘Dad, I’m pregnant.’

His first instinct was to drive to Mark’s house and beat the shit out of him.  He did, and then went straight back home.  She was standing in the driveway.

‘Dad!  What have you done?’

He opened the door.  The first thing to catch his eye was the calendar.

Shit.  April first.

I had an overwhelming urge to write a 55-word story with more than one paragraph. :P

I like this little snipet of a story. The part I don't understand is the last bit, about April first. That's so sad for me, because that was 40% of the story, and this little thing is so entertaining.

I recently heard about a mass murderer who killed seventeen people in three days... they say he was a loner. Well, of course he was. He apparently killed everyone he came in contact with!

Poor Mark!
Maybe this is why we shouldn't "fool" anyone on April 1st =D

If the truth was bitter and the lies were sweet, which would you pick?

Ah, yes - there is a lesson to be learnt here indeed.

You only laughed at it - I wrote it! Doesn't that make me even horribler? :D (No, horribler isn't a real word.)

Thanks. :hug:
