About a thousand months ago, I asked for ideas on short stories. And, my friend T has asked me about them every time I have seen him. So, as his going away gift, I decided to not write just a review, but a full on short story. BUT THEN, I decided that that wasn't enough for him. Instead, I wrote my very first Choose Your Own Adventure adventure. Please bear with me. Imma try to not eff up the hyperlinks, but I am sure there will be at least one.
Tom, you are a hero among humans.

Take a _______ At The Puppy-- Idea submitted by Anonymous
“Today is an auspicious day,” Reginald
winked at the gathered crowd. “Today is the day we honor our most charitable
member of our community. Today is the day we unveil a statue sculpted with such
a likeness that our dear Christopher might have thought he was looking at a
mirror. With no more pomp and much less circumstance, I give you the piece:
Christopher in Bronze.”
Cheers erupted from all corners of the
square. Reginald dabbed at his forehead with his handkerchief before grasping
hands with the townspeople. Tom slunk through the legs of the adults with
expertise. Soon, he was nose to nose with Christopher in Bronze.
Patting the sculpture’s head, Tom
whispered, “’Atta boy, Christopher. ‘Atta boy.” He kissed Christopher in Bronze’s
snout and melted back into the summer’s day scenery.
The picnic was in full
fledge. He dodged potato salad tables, hot dog grills, and games involving
balloons and fish, though uncertain about their connectivity. Tom snatched one
piece of watermelon cut exactly in an equilateral triangle, had the rind been a
straight line.
