Paddy Whacker Challenge: Rice



there is a new funky challenge up in fictionaut, in celebration of St. Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá ’le Pádraig or Lá Fhéile Pádraig, colloquially St. Paddy's Day or simply Paddy's Day, celebrated on 17th of March.)

the rules:
- submitted stories must contain at least one of the words 'Patrick', 'Paddy', 'Irish', 'Dublin', 'Joyce', 'padding', 'pad', 'Padawan', 'patron', 'saint', 'pope', 'spring', clover', 'bloom', 'Guinness', 'green', 'pal', 'Catholic'.

when i read the word list, i first had no clue where to start. then i read the words again. and clicked back to a story from february: Rice. turns out, the story is almost written for the challenge, even though the paddy it includes is of a rather un-Irish kind. couldn't resist to add some Guinness. the green was there already. here it is: Rice (Paddy Whacker Challenge).

(and here the contest details: all pieces are due by 17 March, 11:59 p.m., group link: The Paddy Whacker)
