The Ugly Rock
by Tom B. Taker

The rock was ugly. Absurdly so. For millenia it existed in this idyllic setting.

An ant commuted nearby. The rock hated it. Flipping itself over, it landed on the ant.

      This is actually a rewrite of a story I wrote 10 to 20 years ago, which has since been lost. The original story wasn’t limited to 30 words. Relying only on my memory I edited the thing down for this challenge. Sadly much of the original plot was lost.

      I sure wish I could find that story.
