I wrote this piece of fiction in 2019 for a website that has these 1,000 word contests that are pretty fun to take part in. (I’d post the website, but I don’t know if that’s allowed here.) These 1,000 word stories are challenging for me because I write long stories with sex scenes many times longer than this effort. (I can’t reread this thing or I’m going to turn it into a 5,000 word story.)
Anyway, since it’s short, and it’s no longer on the original website, I’m posting it to a few subReddits. Enjoy.
**Chapter 01: A New Job**
*“Santa baby, yabba-dabba-dabba-da-do,*
*Santa, cutie, I’d hop, skip, and jump for you—”*
I heard my mother’s laughter, followed by the question, “What are you singing?”
“I’m a mall Santa,” I said.
In my mother’s eyes, I saw a sparkle come to life I had never seen in her before, and in her smile, I saw something that I couldn’t quite place . . . yet.
“Try the Santa suit it on.” Mom clapped her hands under her breasts. “Let me have a sneak peek at Santa this year.”
**Chapter 02: Dad’s Warning**
