Chuck Wendig Flash Fiction Challenge - the numbers game in 100 words.

The numbers game. Bishop, Lollipop, Blister.


'Bishop McAuley was parish priest in Fethard when I was a boy' Malcolm said
concentrating on injecting a tiny drop of fluid into the blister pack of
the strawberry lollipop I was holding for him.


'You knew him quite well then.' I said '


'You could say that'


'What if he shares his lollipops with his latest...........boy?' I
asked.


'He never shares and he always has one sticking out his big fat gob.'


I'm going to send him on the trip of a life time.' Finally Malcolm smiled.

  1. This was hard for me to read with the strange punctuation. I had to read it twice to figure out what was going on.
