Very Short Story




Scene:  A field next to an old wooden church. A man kneeling down in the weeds with his young son by his side.

"Papa, why are you weeping?"
"My child, I weep because the Church has banned me."
Papa, why did they ban you?"
"My child, they banned me because I presided over the funeral of the assassin, John Wilkes Booth."
