Here’s another twenty word story based on the prompt found on Bulbul’s site. The prompt is Spaghetti. Twisted, tangled up, confused. I’ve been tying myself up in knots for too long about all of these painful thoughts. Photo by Public Domain Pictures from Pexels

Physical Education
Physical Education I don’t often write autobiographical pieces, but thought I’d purge in literary form. I have a lot of memories of physical education, this one sticks with me the most.
