Election propaganda


“I have an idea! Watch this!”

Ron bolted up the ladder and started spraying paint on the billboard. I couldn’t see what he was doing from down below and I couldn’t move to have a look either–I had to hold the ladder and keep him safe.

He was giggling to himself the entire time and I couldn’t wait to have a look at his creation. We were competing in the silliness of ideas and I wanted to know what I was up against.

It took him solid five minutes to be done with the spray paint and come climbing down the ladder.

I took a couple steps back and took a good look of his creation.

Blacked out teeth, bunny ears, a set of breasts, and crossed out “un” in “No more unemployment”.

I shrugged. “It’s a try.”

Truth be told, however, as unimaginative as his idea was, it was better than mine. I hadn’t had any to begin with, and with the next election billboard only a couple meters away, I needed to come up with something fast.


The prompt was:

"Election"
