Oh my goodness, that is going to cause the biggest stir ever and the lawn service problem pales into insignificance. During the pandemic you of course had to wear a mask and I would go for my run, wear my mask, cap and sunglasses. Calling into the bank on my way back I was viewed very suspiciously! Ha ha ha, a fine write Bill, love Dolly x

Thank you, Dolly. I know the masking times were weird.

Oh no! What got into Amos? He should have just written his notes to the lawn care guy and the mail carrier. But depending on the age of Amos, I wonder if anyone knows how to write by hand anymore. Surprising ending! Best wishes in the contest!

Three is the magic number and Amos has three shots at remembering. First the lawn service, then the postal carrier and finally the bank with a not so innocent note. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Great ending! You have just eighty words to work with, but I think you could eliminate words in the first paragraph. I don't know that you need "he had to write." Second and third paragraphs might be questions. Was it to....." You lead up to that fabulous conclusion. I think questions (if he couldn't remember to begin with.) Great idea, and best of luck in the contest. judi

The excuse I use for short writes is that I write until run into the punch line at the end. o, the corrections to length begin from the end. Once the word number is right, and the piece makes sense, I post.

Yes, sir, I'm sure he had to figure out a quick way to pay the lawn service. And what faster and more efficient way to load one's pockets than to rob a bank. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Ric. Maybe Fanstory should post a challenge for the best bank robber note.
