The Bad Mood and the Stick

by Matthew Forsythe

First published 2017

A bad mood drifts aimlessly, seeking a target. When a stick falls from a tree, the mood latches on. Who will pick up the stick? A curious child? A grumpy neighbor? As the mood spreads, so does the chaos, until an unexpected resolution restores balance. In the end, the bad mood departs, leaving only the ordinary stick behind - a reminder that the darkest clouds can have silver linings.
