Christian was extremely proud of himself as he walked into drama class. He had found his perfect prop locked in his father’s shed when he had been cleaning it out at the weekend.
After giving it a quick dust, Christian knew that it was going to be one nobody else would have. Well, except Dave, but his was the plastic one borrowed from the science lab.
“Alas, poor Yorick…” This was it, this was the moment that Christian pulled a skull out of his bag.
It was hardly the expected reaction, but everyone suddenly started screaming at the presentation of a very real skull.
“Where did you get this?”
“Garden shed?” Christian considered this was a very reasonable explanation, and had no idea that it was going to lead to his father being accused of murder.

Ooops! Then again, maybe Dad should have covered his tracks better… Nice take on the prompt 🙂

Hahaha! Oh, the innocence of a child! I agree with Sonya, his father should have covered his tracks better. Great story Angie! I could easily picture this happening and seeing the comedy in it!

This is great! Instead of letting “the cat out of the bag” …he let “the skeleton out of the bag”, but it had the same results….the secret had been given away….which was very unfortunate for his dad!
