Convincing

The following was written for the Amazing Fifty-Five Word Story Contest for Round 194 (29 May 2011) I am very proud to say it took first place! I hope you enjoy reading it.


“You are not that convincing, handsome.”
“So you don’t think I can tell believable stories?”
“Well, no.”
“You seem so certain. Do you remember me telling you how you are absolutely perfect for the part I’m casting?”
“Yes, and you already know how very grateful I am.”
“Well get dressed kitten, I’m just a janitor.”
