Horses and nail guns - my obituary (Flash Fiction challenge)

Only a fool would smear their face in chocolate hoping a horse would lick it clean. If you try it –like I did- you will soon discover that tongues aren’t soap and no matter how hard you charge at water, nothing is probable with an ungulate.

What is probable is that around here having an acent seems to be enough to warrant death threats and to have a nail gun pressed against your temple. The xenophobes are more prevelant than I would like – I guess that doesn’t matter now.

It’s been an odd sort of day. A day to be reminded that life is not without a sense of humour and no matter how much you think otherwise, being different is dangerous. Unfortunately I realised a little too late. I just hope someone looks after my horse.

    This is so cool. I was going to pass this competition as impossible, but you threaded the words together in a very clever manner. May I suggest that you separate the paragraphs with a space?
