Halloween Short Story: Small Toy Church
On a small hill near a small cemetery lies a small toy church. As you approach the church you will hear tiny voices. When you reach the church bend down, peer inside, and you will see a tiny congregation. They will stop what they are doing and look at you. At first you will think they assume you are their god, because you loom so large before their eyes. But then you will realize they are having a church bake sale and fully expect you to buy something. However, you will think $5 is a bit steep for a lemon square smaller than your cuticle so you will decline. Then you will walk away from the small toy church near the small cemetery on the small hill, your every step followed by tiny voices cursing you out for being such a freaking cheapskate.
