Felix finished 5th in his categorie for his story "Not an excuse but a reason".

Here is what the judge wrote about his story: "The writer draws on personification and figurative language to present the key character's concerns and challenges. Understatement and exageration are also engaging. This story made me laugh out loud and teh final line a real clincher. The writer has a gift for wry humour".

So here is "Not an excuse but a reason". Enjoy!

Felix would be very happy to read your comments about his story.
