Microfiction Day 26 – “Counting Down”

“Would you like an advent calendar this year?”

“Absolutely not.”

“What? Why?”

“Because I don’t like countdowns.”

“What on earth are you talking about?”

“Think about it. When are countdowns good? You get counted down to start a race and that’s frankly terrifying. You get counted down to a new year and that just reminds you of everything you didn’t do in the last year. There’s even a massive great clock that they use to show us how close we are to destroying the world. Countdowns are never good.”

“What about a gin advent calendar?”

“Ooh, go on then.”
