daily story, day 1


There was a knock at the door. The bell hadn't worked for weeks.

Looking outside I saw the mail carrier who looks a lot like Burl Ives but his name is Fred and he can't even hum.

He was holding very carefully...
                                                       ...this.

A paint stained trophy with a bunch of daisies.

"Award" was engraved on it. 

What kind of contest deserved this as a prize?
The nameplate was left blank.
"Is this for me?" I asked, hoping it was.

 Day 1 of my year long daily art story.

Happy Lunar New Year today! Year of the Sheep and/or Goat!
