Hole to Hide in
Have you been caught in a scandal? Did you publicly embarrass your employer and bring disgrace upon your family? Are you the butt of every new joke on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube?
If so, Hidey Hole Inc. has just the place for you. Our secluded underground apartments provide the privacy to wallow in self-pity while you struggle to create a new life. Amenities include comfortable park benches for crying, praying, or sleeping, and waist-high steel rails to drape over when expelling cheap wine.
To tour one of our apartments, tap on the manhole cover in front of Van Winkle Tunnel.

  4. I wondered how you were going to manage a humorous story with this prompt, but you did it! Great job. Loved it all but especially the "tap on the manhole cover for a tour..." Hilarious.

    1. This is the most challenging prompt so far from a humor standpoint, but thanks to Bobby Petrino, I was able to come up with something to make people smile.

  7. Original take on the prompt. Also, it's a complete story in 100 words, which is difficult to pull off. Here's mine: http://furiousfictions.com.

  11. Dear Russell: Took me a while to find you. You got me at 'Hidey Hole, Inc.' and burst out laughing. I knew I was in for another fabulous, hilarious tale. How do you do it my witty friend? Sh....don't tell me. Let me enjoy the ride and the 'burst at the seams'...chuckles. Looking forward to next week's tale for more giggles. Here's mine:

  14. A good chuckle right from the start, building to a full on guffaw at the end. Nice!

    p.s. just re-reading your title "chunky dunkin'" made me laugh again. :-)
