If you are not a Medium member, click here to read this. However, consider joining Medium. It’s full of talented writers of every sort. I think you will thoroughly enjoy it.

This is my Day Eighteen entry to the Writer’s Digest February Flash Fiction Challenge. The prompt is to rewrite a nursery rhyme.

Humpty Dumpty stood on the wall,
Looking rather pasty.
From down below, he heard them call,
Fearing for his safety.
Losing his balance, he took a fall,
and turned out rather tasty..
