Hat

I give to you a story in eleventy-one words...

‘I open neither my heart nor mind without donning my tri-cornered hat.

‘I initially wore it to team meetings; it proved unexpectedly empowering, enabling me – the consummate introvert – to lead them expertly. I subsequently wore it to every meeting, each an unmitigated success.

‘It seems, however, such millinery is inappropriate for client onsites. The clients didn’t seem to mind, but my boss told me to remove it. He fired me on the spot when I refrained.

The parents eyed him as the boat docked.

‘Quite the journey! Speaking of which, I hope you’ve enjoyed yours on the Pirates of Caribbean ride!’ He tipped his tri-cornered hat to the rapidly fleeing families.
