Comments on 'Moving the package around'Vlad produced a shovel from the bed of his truck and handed it to the other man.

"He had bad gas you know," Vlad said.
"Who?" asked the second man.
"Hitler. He had terrible gas. Couldn't keep his farts in around dignitaries, heads of state. Would run out the room wheezing like a cheap balloon."

<p>I need to write something in this vein next week.</p>
<p>Great first effort. Feels good to flex your fiction muscles, doesn’t it?</p>
<p>If I could offer one thought: it seems to end a bit abruptly.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/27940?basename=573262008-04-18T18:59:01ZSeth Millerhttp://ficlets.com/authors/mostlymuppet
