Super Shorts

J.A. Konrath has a "Wine Me, Dine Me, 69 Me" contest going on at his blog tonight. The trick is to write a 69 word short story. There are a lot of really good reads. Check it out, the link's on the right. This was my entry:

Zoom in. Slam the door. Tires screeching, rubber burning. Cell ringing – lawyer, not agent. Voice mail recording: “Get your ass to court, twenty grand in bail’s on the line.” Pull up tight next to the fence, up and over in under thirty seconds. Life is a balancing act: I’m on the edge. You’re nothing if no one knows your name. Arms out, eyes closed, lean forward. Fade to black.
