Written for Esther’s “Can You Tell A Story In…..? #279”
This week we are faced with one or two challenges:
to write a story in exactly 7 words using the word ‘imposter’
and/or a story in exactly 50 words including the five required
prompts: ‘coat’, ‘pie’, ‘qualify’, ‘Latin’, ‘aunt’ and ‘maze. Never
one to shy away from a challenge, here’s my two-stories-in-one!

“Don’t answer the door! It’s an imposter!” …..
? ✊🏼 ? 🕵🏻♀️ ? 🚪 ?
….. Aunt Maze, Detective, commanded so loudly, I nearly dropped my freshly-baked pie.
“But it’s Diego, your ‘Latin Lover’”, I teased.
“It’s not Diego! I’m sure!” Auntie insisted. “He’s wearing the wrong coat.”
“How does that qualify? I frowned. “Diego doesn’t even wear a coat.”
“Exactly!” Auntie exclaimed.
“Clever you, Auntie!”

Great story again Nancy. As long as you don’t hear the tooth puller knocking on your wisdom tooth you’ll be good to go. All joking aside good luck in the chair today.
