The Gathering, A 100 Word Story

It’s good to see so many old familiar faces. I’m surprised at how many people showed up anyway. I suppose it’s hard to turn down an invitation to a gathering like this no matter who the guest of honor is. Still, there are a few who couldn’t make it, or wouldn’t come. I can’t say I’m not a little disappointed, but it’s entirely too late to worry about it now.
Everyone has come by to see me, and most have had a few kind words to say.
I suppose I can go now. Close the lid and take me away.
