Don't Run :: 50 Word Short Story
While @jayna is down in Tennessee at the first Writer's Block meetup, the rest of us have to console ourselves with contributing to her 50 Word Story Challenge.
This time around we have the prompt of: run.
I'm not going to profess to have any specific experience regarding the following story. Just so we're clear on that.
My first presentation to the board. My career hinged on this, but I was confident.
I strode to the podium.
All eyes on me, but they stared at my legs. I glanced down past the hem of my skirt.
The longest pantyhose run in the world gaped back at me.
A great community of writers there, helping each other get better at what they enjoy doing.

Haha ... been there:)
I don't know this person, but my heart aches for them. One of many reasons why I don't wear pantyhose.
lol yeah.... I'm not sure I've ever managed a full day in pantyhose without ripping them. I'm convinced unscathed pantyhose are protected by very potent witch craft.
Well run... er, done... :)
Runs in pantyhose actually crossed my mind as I considered this prompt...
😄😇😄
Couldn't help but laugh, followed by a cringe. After reading the story, I completely understand why the need for a disclaimer. cackles
Really great take, Neg! Thoroughly enjoyed this.
