Good morning everyone! I hope you’re having a great first day of the 50 Precious Words Contest. Thank you Vivian for bringing us this fun community driven kidlit contest every year! Last year, my entry was about cupcakes. [Monday Morning Cupcakes!] This year, my entry is about turkeys. At first glance, it may not seem like these two topics have anything to do with one another, but here’s a hint: they’re both potentially delicious.
Here’s a little background to give you some more context on where I was when writing both stories. Last year, around this time, I was watching a lot of cooking and baking shows. Mmm, yum! This year, around this time, I’ve been binge watching Stranger Things and Whodunnit’s. Does that clue you in?
So without further ado, please enjoy my 2024 50 Precious Words entry: FOWL PLAY.
P.S. Let me know what you thought of the story in the comments below!
FOWL PLAY
By Chelsea DiCicco
50 Words
November was just around the corner…
And Turkey had goosebumps.
He didn’t want to be gobbled up!
Then, one day, in drama class,
He hatched a plan.
It was BIG.
It was BOLD.
It was…
Fowl play.
The perfect theatrical escape!
His audience ate it up.
And Turkey…
Was free.
