For this week’s weekly challenge, I wrote a 100 word story on the topic “Chicken Rampage”. Yes, it’s a boatload of funny this week. As always, you may read, hear, and vote for all entries (including mine!) at the 100 Word Stories site. You may read my story alone below, and hear my story alone at this link. Thanks for reading, and remember to vote for your favorite!
