Very Short Stories & Drabbles Part 2

7/12/24 Drabble: Flog

There were many sports across the galactic Empire that it was hard to rank them all. But there was never any doubt that the stupidest was the Orlaxian game of Flog. The objective of the game was simple. Players had to hit a ball into a hole in the ground, but they start from very far away. The way they get the ball closer is by hitting it with a stick over and over until it eventually falls into the hole. Then, once they accomplish that, Floggers do it again seventeen more times. Oh, everyone has to dress nice, too.
