Esther’s prompt, “Can you tell a story in–” must be 62 words including:  horoscope, vaccine, martini, shifty, woodpecker, break dance😉

Shifty Woodpecker is a local character.  He reads his daily horoscope like it’s the Holy Bible–church friends pray fervently for him.  But he’s a good soul, young at heart, likeable.

After recently getting the flu vaccine he noticed a side-effect–he no longer enjoys an evening martini.

Neighbors are complaining about his latest wee-hours passion: he’s break dancing above their ceiling.
