Festive Flash Fiction Day Four: The Dreidel
The Dreidel One December day, an old man named Gimel found a puppy inside a hat on the seat of a city bus. It was after dark, he was on his way home from synagogue, and he didn’t see the hat until it was time to get off. The old man lived near a bus station, so when he got off the driver got off, too. But before he got off, he looked in the hat, which was, as a matter of fact, a top hat; black, and turned upside down under the back seat. The puppy was curled inside the hat.
