It was a great pleasure to participate and read all the other awesome entries. Winning something was a little extra pleasure. Thank you @calluna for being such a "story muse" for us!

But if you were some sort of benthic fish or crustacean... maybe you could say it!

Thank you for reading and commenting, my friend! First version of the sign was even grosser, I had shame of myself... same meaning, more explicit words. The backstory behind the man was something similar

I didn't have the guts to make the bear rip off the poor dog

Sorry, but this time I can't participate. I have to write the awarding place for Mizu No Oto and then I would like to do a curation tour through the entries of the Flash Contest. Good luck to all participants!

Wow! Thank you @arcange! I didn't expect so much attention on my post. A nice surprise!

Too good, @calluna! Looking back, I'm more proud of the first part. I am satisfied with how I managed to convey the sense of a tough and harsh childhood, but still full of that magical look that children

Thank you so much, @curie! Your support is really invaluable for all those who try to contribute to the exchange of culture and entertainment on Steemit. Big heart!
