The Medal for Most Dramatic Sigh

A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.

The dramatic-sigh final attracted a full imaginary stadium. Captain Bo opened with a long, weary exhale suggesting three meetings and an unavailable biscuit.

The judges awarded excellent marks for atmosphere.

The toy train followed with a sigh so theatrical that two spectators offered it a chair.

Then Mr. Buttons approached the microphone. He looked at a pile of forms and sighed once.

The stadium fell silent.

It was not the loudest sigh. It was simply the most believable.

Bo congratulated the bear and asked about his training routine.

Administration, said Mr. Buttons.

The medal ceremony required each winner to complete a form.

The bear looked at the form, then at the judges.

His second sigh was even better. They awarded him a special distinction and promised to stop creating opportunities for him to defend the title.
