“Happy New Year” a fifty-word story by Mary Steer

“Happy New Year!”

Mary Steer

In this, my “Year of Yes,” I’ve:

 – got multiple tatts and piercings

 – bungee-jumped

 – sky-dived (dove?)

 – sat through a live opera

 – adopted a dog

 – and twelve cats

 – been a surrogate for an infertile friend

Next up: my Year of NO.

Mary Steer only has her ears pierced. You can read more of Mary’s work at marysteer.com.
