Short Short Story About an Ugly Sweater
Gillian spotted the gorgeous sweater in the window of the vintage shop. It fit well and flattered her, was an incredible bargain, and would be the perfect confidence boost she needed for the company Christmas party that night.
Feeling beautiful, she braved the party, impressed upper management, and was surprised to enjoy herself. Several made strange comments about a winning sweater, but she shrugged it off. This was her night to shine.
Feeling tired, she left the party as the inaugural ugly sweater contest was beginning.
The day after Christmas she found the Ugly Sweater Contest trophy on her desk.
