Oh this is brilliant. I really couldn't see the end coming (haha!) You did well to conceal what was to be the humorous climax (pardon the pun..) in the run up. Well done ;-)

This work has reached the exceptional level

I started reading this and obviously thought it was a religious piece not exactly my favourite if I'm being honest so speaking as a girl who went to a convent school it cracked me up.. Hilarious!
All the best.
Jill:)

    Thanks so much Jill for the super stars. I am so glad you liked it. I also don?t like religious pieces.

Based on your opening statements about the event of the year, it sounded as though the congregation had prepared everything and was very excited. I didn't understand why the priest pulled out. However, I wish you the best in the contest.

The last line was funny and I like the way you worked up to it Honestly the story was not capturing my attention till I got to that last line and they it all pulled together.

Hahahahahaha oh man I laughed so hard! Thank you for that. It was a great joke! I wasn't expecting that at all. It went from godly to unholy real fast. Good luck!

The topic of birth control would be a touchy subject to select for an audience. I think the election this year will be about women's health, and this is one of the topics to think about. Like your short story.

Haha! That's an old one but a good one. And cleverly inserted into the context of this flash fiction. Everything about your post is beautifully clear and legible with no errors and a great ending. Well done and good luck! Debbie

This is a gripping tale, but I bet if it is based on reality, the food would not go to waste The tale tied together very well. Good luck in the contest

Hmm, an interesting joke, with a solid set-up for the punch-line. I don't think restrictions or views against birth control today are what they used to be with Catholics, so many today may not get the joke. But FanStory has a lot of older members who will get it. If they aren't Catholic and get offended.

Good luck.

This one-hundred-word story, The Event of the Year, has the proper word count and leaves the readers with a double entendre and possibly a reason for the parson's confessional visit.
