Bid Now on My Significant Object


Bidding is nearing a close on my entry to the Significant Objects project. Read more about the project here.
Each writer, Rob explained, would choose from a variety of "junk" objects bought by the curators at garage sales and thrift stores. A smiling mug. A Sanka ashtray. A JFK bust. Then, we would write a short story about the object. Whatever we liked. A fiction.
Read my story and see my object here.
I reached my hand into the drawer, withdrew it, and looked at what lay in my palm. “ALL AMERICAN OFFICIAL NECKING TEAM,” the pin read. It was hard to reconcile the words with my father. At this point, he had been dead for nearly 15 years.
Place your bid here. As of this writing, there's only 13h 16m left.
