Angela Hedrick- For My Pregnant Wife (99 words)
“What does America’s greatest superhero, the world’s worst villain, and a guy named Bob all have in common? They have pregnant wives who want a special pastry from a famous hermit chef living in the Mahauholou mountains.” The announcer smiles.
Bob stands there sweating and wondering how he got here.
“Chef Joaquin mass produces chocolate pastries every Valentine’s Day. However, it’s the middle of the summer, and these poor husbands must traverse the hermit’s booby-trapped jungle to obtain them!” The announcer continues.
Bob looks at the superhero and supervillain.
“The things I will do for my wife.” Bob sighs.
