Mountain Range

By Trish Hubschman

The following piece comes from a prompt provided by Writing Works Wonders.

The prompt words were:

Himalaya, Hypocrite and Hilarious.

Here’s Trish with more…

“I’m going to be hiking in the Himalayas with my tour group,” I told my friend, Janet.

She gave me a puzzled look. “Isn’t that in India?”

I was laughing hysterically. “The part of it we’re hiking,” I replied.

Janet crossed her arms over her chest. “Well, then you’re a hypocrite.”

I was laughing even harder. “How is that?”

“Well, you don’t like climbing the hill of your own driveway, but you’ll climb a massive mountain in a faraway country?”

She was right. Oh well, it was hilarious. Janet was laughing too.
