Scarecrow
So we hired this scarecrow. Yincent. My sister saw the ad in the Cambrian News and said 'Is he for real?' so I called him up to see. We met in the afternoon and in the evening I called him again to say the job was his. This was Sunday. I showed him the plot and we watched at the kitchen window so he could see the birds he was meant to scare. He took it all in, but I could see his hands shake. I said 'Are you nervous?' He said he had Essential Tremors and he probably drank too much, but the shaking helped his work. 'Makes you look real,' he said. Before dawn every morning I let the cat out, and I see Yincent setting up. I think it's nice he's there and I wave, and he waves.

I really liked this story. In fact, I thought about it long after reading it and had to read it again. I didnt like the term "Essential Tremors" ~ I thought it should be "Drunken Tremors" instead, but the fact that a great story can come from so few words is inspiring. I want to try my hand at flash fiction now!

Its ridiculous. Even a child would not be convinced, and it does look like a story that is supposed to appeal to a child. A somewhat backward child.
