I posted another writing exercise on SoundCloud based on the random title: “Playing a Trick on an Odd Electrician”. An old man who thinks he has a sense of humor decides to play a trick on an electrician.

This time we did the writing exercises during our script writer’s group meeting. We haven’t done that for a while. I finished up early, so this one is a bit on the shorter side of what I normally write.
The “old man” in the story isn’t entirely autobiographical. I don’t claim to be funny. Some people might even say that my sense of humour as a joke. Calling the electrician odd is debatable. I can see that some people would see the electrician as perfectly normal. I suppose that if I’d had more time to contemplate the story before I wrote it, I would have come up with someone more objectively odd.
