Oh, damn. That was very funny. I like the description of the priest's side of the booth and your astonishment of the discovery. Greta short, short story. Congratulations on the win.

This short piece was very funny. I didn't see the ending coming my way. This was a very humorous piece of writing that I enjoyed reading and writing this response for... John

I couldn't stop laughing at the visual imagery your story created with an absurd and totally unexpected twist.

Great comedic use of your 100 words. Good luck! I wish I had six more stars.

That was an interesting revelation at the end. I'm pretty sure this is fiction, but I suppose a day of confessions would slip by easier with a good smoke and a stiff drink.

    Thanks Bill for your excellent review, I appreciate it. Yes, this is fiction, as far as I know (ha). I've always heard that truth is stranger than fiction. Have a great day my friend.

I have to say that you certainly saved the best for last.Lol.
I certainly wasn't expecting that.
I too have been away for awhile and although the additions
didn't appeal to me I was hoping some other creature comforts may have been added.
A comfortable chair and a soft cushion would surely help.

Unfortunately, this joke isn't a story. Beyond that, you have a few inaccuracies that hurt the presentation. No Catholic would add the word "booth". It's the Confessional. Secondly, the priest sits in the middle, not on a "side". And, of course, most confessions are face-to-face now. The Confessional is almost a thing of the past. Nice try, though. :D Nancy

Nicely told, but it's still a joke and not a story.
It's really hard to write a real story in 100 words.
But I think that's the point of the challenge.
I don't mean to single you out. I have found a real story among the entries yet.

Best of luck.

Peace, Lee

I love the twist at the end. Very clever way to present a surprise. I pray to God this is just a story, though. It would be very disheartening to actually experience this little incident.

Thanks for sharing.
