Hello everyone! This week's story is what in fanfiction is called a "five things 'fic." Basically, it involves five different events occurring, usually with a central theme and focused on around one character. It often has an added "sixth" thing that is somehow different from the other five. I've always wanted to try one, so I figured I could give it a shot on my blog. I hope you enjoy it!
Title: Five Times Larry Got New Shoes (And One Time He Didn't)
Warnings: eventual character death, mention of alcoholism
Summary: Self-explanatory. Larry gets five new pairs of shoes, and one pair that wasn't for him.
Length: ~ 2,500 words
Notes: Third person point of view, past tense. Genre is a five things story.
My goal: To write one short story a week for a year for a total of 52 short stories. If you like reading and/or seeing people challenge themselves, this is a good blog to follow!

I hope you enjoy this story!
