"Belly Ache" an original work of fiction in just #fiftywords

in #fiftywords7 years ago (edited)

This is my second entry in the #fiftywords story challenge by @miniature-tiger. The current theme is "zoo". I felt bad that my last story was about a lion.

Anyhoo, I thought I'd better write a story about a tiger, or @miniature-tiger might feel a bit sad...

Check out @miniature-tiger's post: https://steemit.com/fiftywords/@miniature-tiger/fiftywords-stories-round-up-and-theme-for-weekdays-4-zoo and please check out all the other 50 word stories in #fiftywords

The story is exactly 50 words long.

This is not warm and fuzzy...a little on the gory side to be sure.

I think Burt's insides were warm and fuzzy... and tasty

Oh no! You went from cute to gory real fast.

Fun to read :)

Don't mess with miniature tigers! Thank you for reading and commenting! :)

Oh my poor Burt. I'm betting he wished he never let that miniature tiger into his zoo.

Serves him right! Miniature tigers are not meant to be caged! :)
