This morning I woke up thinking about the last line of my very short story Self Defense. It said, “You can imagine how that trial turned out.”
Several times I tried to change the word “that” to “the” but my brain insisted “that” was the right word.
Does that mean there was another trial? What else did she do? Was her explanation even true? Did we all get fooled? Will we ever know?
What do you think?
TTYL,

I’m just happily waiting to see what you do with it next! 😀
all stories ‘start’ small but extenuating circumstances make for more information and bigger tales!
The word “that” sounds best to me. It emphasizes the uniqueness of the situation…and it makes me laugh.
Didn’t your Mom teach you to finish what you started? Sooo?
