So, this is one from a while back, as I only write micro fiction these days, so I have a limited pool to choose from. No pun intended! Anyway, I still like it and it was good fun to go back to. It's called "The Club" and it highlights the perils of joining a gym : -

This is a story from a while ago about a Dad who is just trying to find some water for his little girl. I'm really proud of it.
