No Thank You

Prompts = Show, Rim, Candidate

In the small town of Snowshoe, Manitoba, no one wants to be mayor; who wants the responsibility to do the paperwork?

Voting doesn’t work; no one ever steps forward as a candidate. So they’ve gotten creative. They’ve drawn straws. One year it was part of a Secret Santa gift exchange (along with chocolate covered mints and a condolences card). Another year they teamed up with Tim Horton’s “Roll Up The Rim” prizes, but due to a printing error all 1,000 cups said “Congratulations Mayor!”

I don’t know why they bother; even when someone’s chosen, they never show up for work.
