"Just Ducky" - A 50-Word Contest Entry

in #story • 5 years ago

"Throughout my teens, I just wanted to go somewhere I could wear a Donald Duck pin and no one would care."
- Paul Feig -

Being a grownup isn't all it's cracked up to be.

This week, @jayna's 50 Word Short Story Contest word is "gift."

Have you ever received a gift that you felt was beneath you?

Be careful how you respond...

Just Ducky

by Duncan Cary Palmer

"A Donald Duck thumb drive?"

"I thought you liked Donald."

"I'm not a kid any more. Why would Uncle Edgar will me this piece of crap? It's only 64 megabytes. Here, you keep it."

Arthur left, and I plugged the drive into my Macbook.

Ten thousand bitcoin?

Best regifting ever!

      Yes one must check it out because the packaging does not always tell the full story. The Bible says Jesus not good looking. In fact folks hid their faces from him, yet he offers the best gift. One must check it out. Think what that Bitcoin was worth in its peak. Thanks @creatr.
