THE HUMBLEST EMPLOYEE AWARD by Clive Aaron Gill

    Every year, at our company’s Christmas party, the owner announces the award for the humblest employee of the year.

    Last year, he chose Janice, a shy fifty-year-old woman who had joined the company eight months prior, to receive the Humblest Employee Award. She wiped a tear from her reddened face and, with a beaming smile, accepted the honor.

    The company owner immediately withdrew the award.

Fifty-five stories by Clive Aaron Gill have appeared in literary journals and in “People of Few Words Anthology.”

He tells his stories at public and private gatherings.

Born in Zimbabwe, Clive has lived and worked in Southern Africa, North America and Europe. He received a degree in Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles and lives in San Diego.
