Final Twist in the story

I’m still twisting and turning about this tale with a twist for Writers’ Magazine. I had three quarters of it written as a flight from the outback but the twist was weak and I gave it up. I’ll get back to it another time. Anyway, I found another draft in myfiles but while the twist was in the last line, it was more one of those throw away lines than loaded in the story plot. The story is too good to misuse so I dropped that for a better opportunity and went back to my draft files and found a tale about someone on a bowls club committee. If you’re one of those people who don’t like to let the team down and find yourself stuck as the secretary, treasurer, or competition organiser for a bowls, golf, football, sailing, WI, or any other kind of voluntary club, you’ll relate easily to the story. A friend of mine who had been secretary of the Probus Club for thirteen years got so desperate he told everyone he was moving two hundred miles away the month before the AGM. The new secretary followed his example after three years. They both still live in the village and the new secretary is starting to look desperate. I’ve alreaady given too much away but I’ve managed to give the story a better twist.
