100 words!

.

Colin likes to stand in a crowded street and point skyward. He laughs as people stop and gaze up – at nothing at all! 

He loves to glue a coin to the pavement, it’s worth ten pence to watch people’s frustrated attempts at picking it up.

Sometimes he walks up to someone who’s eating sweets from a packet and says, ‘look over there’ – then quickly pinches one!

Yesterday while walking down an alley he noticed people pointing to the sky. He didn’t look up! He wondered why they were all dashing off.  

He got bonked on the head by an out-of-control drone!

    A sort of taste of his own medicine, or cry wolf too many times, or prank the prankster.

    Funny and good twist on cognitive dissonance. I had a trick nickel that had a nail on the bottom at one point. Not sure where it is now, but I love your MC’s sense of humor.

    Hopefully, he learned his lesson, but probably not. Karma can be painful! Clever story, Keith, as always.

    When he should have been looking down, he didn’t!
    That’s hilarious, made me giggle!
